in the picture, why isnt the carbon that i circled considered a
chiral center? doesnt it have four unique groups attatched to it?
please help
Chiral centre has all attached
group different from each other.
In this case carbon centre attached with two hydrogen atom which are same so all attached group to this carbon centre are not unique so this centre is achiral.

how does the structure on thr bottom left have 2 stereocenters? I
see both Carbons in the CH3 being bonded directly to a H, -CH2 and
another -CH3. i do not see how there are 4 different groups that
each chiral carbon is attached to

A. Enantiomers: Certain substances have the unique property of rotating the plane of plane-polarized light. Such light rotation is detectable with the aid of a polarimeter. In order for a molecule to be optically active it must be chiral. Chiral objects lack a plane of symmetry and are non-superimposable on their mirror images. A sp?- hybridized carbon atom can fulfill these requirements if all four of its substituents are different. 1. Methane a) Prepare a methane molecule and then substitute...
3. Cyclic compounds The presence of the ring in all but very large ring cyclic molecules prevents full rotation of the ring atoms. For this reason, stereoisomerism may also occur in cyclic molecules. a) Prepare a model of cyclohexane, C6H12. Draw the condensed formula. b) Build a model of methylcyclohexane (C7H14) by replacing one of the hydrogens of cyclohexane with a methyl group. Draw the skeletal formula for methylcyclohexane. 2 c) How many different isomers exist for methylcyclohexane (CyH34)? d)...
