Question

Which of the following compounds is not chiral ?

$DCH_2CH_2CH_2CI$

$CH_3CH_2CHDCI$

$CH_3CHDCH_2CI$

$CH_3CHCICH_2D$

Answer

$DCH_2CH_2CH_2CI$

Explanation

Solution

Chiral carbon is that carbon whose all the four
valencies are satisfied by four different groups.
Due to absence of asymmetric (chiral) C- atom
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, D - CH_2 - CH_2 - CH_2CI$
molecule is not a chiral molecule.
