The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound has a non-superimposable mirror image, we need to analyze the given compounds. A non-superimposable mirror image indicates that the compound is chiral, meaning it does not have an internal plane of symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - Let's assume we have a list of compounds to analyze. For the sake of this solution, we will consider a few common examples: - Compound A: CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 (Butanol) - Compound B: CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3 (2-Butanol) - Compound C: CH3-CH(Cl)-CH2-CH3 (Chlorobutane) - Compound D: CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH2-CH3 (Pentanol) 2. **Draw the Structures**: - For each compound, draw the structural formula to visualize the arrangement of atoms. 3. **Determine Symmetry**: - Check each compound for a plane of symmetry. - A compound with a plane of symmetry can be superimposed on its mirror image, indicating it is achiral. 4. **Analyze Compound B (2-Butanol)**: - In 2-butanol, the carbon with the hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to four different groups (CH3, CH2, OH, and H). This means it does not have a plane of symmetry and thus has a non-superimposable mirror image. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, Compound B (2-Butanol) is the only compound that has a non-superimposable mirror image. ### Final Answer: The compound that has a non-superimposable mirror image is **Compound B (2-Butanol)**. ---
