Aicharya · Accepted Answer

The chiral carbon atoms are carbon atoms that are attached to four different atoms or groups of atoms losses all symmetry, that are placed at the corners of a tetrahedron. The configuration of such a tetrahedral unit is chiral. The structure may exist in either a right-handed configuration or a left-handed configuration. This type of configurational stereoisomers is termed enantiomorphism.

Amongst the given compounds, these compounds have chiral carbon in it.
