<img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-bmq7dufcpu78.png" /> The above compound has no chiral 'C'-atom. All the 'C' atoms are attached to two identical 'H' atoms, so they are not asymmetrical or chiral.

Q. Which of the following compounds is not chiral?

$C H_{3} C HD C H_{2} Cl$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C HD Cl$

$D C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} Cl$

$C H_{3} C H ClC H_{2} D$

The above compound has no chiral 'C'-atom. All the 'C' atoms are attached to two identical 'H' atoms, so they are not asymmetrical or chiral.
