Statement I: Molecules that are non-superimposable on their mirror images are chiral.
Statement II: All chiral molecules have chiral centres.

A

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1

B

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 1

C

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Molecules having perpendicular dissymmetric plane are supposed to have chirality without having chiral centre. e.g.,
