Options:

A) Nil

B) Four

C) Two

D) Three

E) One

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: E

Solution:

CH3C|,HCH3 ,C|,HCH3 ,CH3+Cl22, 3-dimethyl butane,

CH3C|,HCH3 ,C|,HCH3 ,CH2Cl2, 3-dimethyl chloro butane, Due to the presence of chiral carbon it shows the optical activity and its mirror image are non-superimposable so it shows one enantiomer pair.

CH3C|,HCH3 C|,HCH3 ,CH2Cl(I),ClCH2C|,HCH3 ,C|,HCH3 ,CH3(II),
