Step by step solution

01

Plane of symmetry

An imaginary plane that bisects a molecule dividing it into two equal/identical halves is termed plane of symmetry.

02

Plane of symmetry and chirality

Molecules that possess a mirror plane or plane of symmetry are termed achiral and the ones that do not possess a plane of symmetry are termed chiral.

03

Plane of symmetry of the given molecules

The plane of symmetry of the given molecules are as follows:

a.

Plane of symmetry in compound a

Compare the physical properties of the three stereoisomers of 1,3-dimethylcyclopenatane.

  1. How do the boiling points of A and B compare? What about A and C?
  2. Characterize a solution of each of the following as optically active or optically inactive: pure A; pure B; pure C; an equal mixture of A and B; an equal mixture of A and C.
