The correct Answer is:
To determine which molecule has non-superimposable mirror images, we need to identify the chiral molecule among the given options. A chiral molecule is one that has a carbon atom bonded to four different groups, leading to non-superimposable mirror images. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Chirality**: - A molecule is chiral if it has a chiral center (usually a carbon atom) that is bonded to four different substituents. This results in two distinct forms (enantiomers) that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. 2. **Examine Each Option**: - **Option A**: Check the substituents on the carbon atom. - If there are two identical groups (e.g., two methyl groups), the molecule is not chiral. - **Option B**: Similarly, check for identical groups. - If there are two identical groups (e.g., two ethyl groups), the molecule is not chiral. - **Option C**: Check the substituents on the carbon atom. - If the carbon is attached to four different groups (e.g., methyl, hydrogen, deuterium, bromine), the molecule is chiral. - **Option D**: Check for identical groups. - If there are two identical groups (e.g., two ethyl groups), the molecule is not chiral. 3. **Identify the Chiral Molecule**: - After examining all options, identify which one has a carbon atom bonded to four different groups. - In this case, **Option C** has a chiral carbon atom with four different substituents. 4. **Conclusion**: - The molecule from **Option C** is chiral and has non-superimposable mirror images. ### Final Answer: **Option C** is the molecule that has non-superimposable mirror images.
