For this problem, we have to sort each chemical formula if they are chiral or achiral:
H3CCl PCl2BrCH3+ H2C=CBr2 H3CCHBrCH2CH3 CH2Br2 H3CCHClBr H2C=CHCH3 HPClBrCH3+
Chiral center: an atom with 4 different substituents
Trigonal center: a double bond capable of forming E/Z isomers
Sort the chemical formulas by chiral versus achiral compounds.
H3CCl PCl2BrCH3+ H2C=CBr2 H3CCHBrCH2CH3 CH2Br2 H3CCHClBr H2C=CHCH3 HPClBrCH3+
