The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given structures (I to IV) are chiral compounds, we need to analyze each structure based on the definition of chirality. A chiral compound is one that has a carbon atom bonded to four different groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Structure I:** - Structure I has a carbon atom that is attached to four different groups: - CH3 (methyl group) - C2H5 (ethyl group) - C3H7 (propyl group) - H (hydrogen) - Since all four groups are different, Structure I is **chiral**. 2. **Analyze Structure II:** - Structure II has a carbon atom bonded to: - CH3 (methyl group) - C2H5 (ethyl group) - C=O (carbonyl group) - H (hydrogen) - All four groups attached to this carbon are different, making Structure II **chiral**. 3. **Analyze Structure III:** - Structure III has a carbon atom bonded to: - H (hydrogen) - CH3 (methyl group) - C2H5 (ethyl group) - C2H5 (another ethyl group) - Here, two of the groups (C2H5) are the same, which means this carbon does not have four different groups. Therefore, Structure III is **not chiral**. 4. **Analyze Structure IV:** - Structure IV has a carbon atom bonded to: - CH3 (methyl group) - C2H5 (ethyl group) - C2H5 (another ethyl group) - H (hydrogen) - Similar to Structure III, two of the groups (C2H5) are the same. Thus, Structure IV is also **not chiral**. ### Conclusion: From the analysis: - Structures I and II are chiral. - Structures III and IV are not chiral. Thus, the correct statement is that **only Structures I and II are chiral compounds**.
