Name the stereo isomers which are non-superimposable mirror images?

Statement 1 : Molecules that are non-superimposable on their mirror images are chiral. Statement 2 : All chiral molecules have chiral centres.

Optically active 2 - iodobutane on treatment with Nal in acetone gives a product which does not show optical activity. Explain.

Methyl ethyl amine cannot be resolved into enantiomers because :

An optically active alcohol (A)[C₆H₁₀O] absorbs two moles of hydrogen per mole of (A) upon catalytic hydrogenation and gives a product (B). The compound (B) is resistant to oxidation by CrO₃ and does not show any optical áctivity. Deduce the structures of A and B
