Glucose is chiral, as it has several chiral centers, including the carbon atom bonded to the hydroxyl group in the penultimate carbon of the chain.
For a molecule with n chiral centers, there are a possible 2^n isomers that can be formed.
For chiral compounds, the number of possible isomers depends on the number of chiral centers in the molecule. The maximum number of stereoisomers that can be formed for a molecule with n chiral centers is 2^n.
Yes, cyclopentanol is chiral because it has a chiral center (carbon atom bonded to four different groups) in its structure. This chiral center gives rise to two non-superimposable mirror image forms, making cyclopentanol optically active.
A chiral assay is a method used to determine the amount and identity of chiral molecules in a sample. These assays are important in pharmaceutical research and development to ensure the purity and efficacy of drug compounds, as chiral molecules can have different biological effects depending on their spatial arrangement.

No, SF4 is not chiral. It has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry with no lone pairs on the sulfur atom, resulting in a lack of chirality despite having different substituents.
Yes, it is chiral
The structure appears to have 8 chiral carbons.
Based on its structure, it does NOT have a chiral center so NO
The chiral center of captopril is the sulfur atom (S). It is a chiral compound with one chiral center due to the presence of the sulfur atom in a tetrahedral environment with four different substituents.
For a molecule with n chiral centers, there are a possible 2^n isomers that can be formed.
Heroin has one chiral carbon.
No, a chiral compound cannot be achiral. Chirality refers to the presence of a non-superimposable mirror image, which is a defining characteristic of chiral compounds. If a compound is achiral, it means that it has a plane of symmetry and is not chiral.
Enalapril contains one chiral center.
For chiral compounds, the number of possible isomers depends on the number of chiral centers in the molecule. The maximum number of stereoisomers that can be formed for a molecule with n chiral centers is 2^n.
Streptomycin has four chiral centers.
