Recognizing Stereoisomers

1. The following compounds exist as pairs of stereoisomers. Evaluate whether the structure is chiral or achiral and, if chiral, denote its nature (center, axis or plane).
Select a compound by clicking the button beneath its structure, and then check the appropriate buttons regarding chirality.


A Is the selected compound: Chiral or Achiral

B If the compound is chiral, classify it as:
      Center
      Axial 
      Planar
