Recognizing Stereoisomers III

1. The following compounds exist as pairs of stereoisomers. Evaluate whether the structure is chiral or achiral and, if chiral, denote its nature (center, axis or plane).
Select a compound by clicking the button beneath its structure, and then check the appropriate buttons regarding chirality.

Four chirality test compounds: cyclic cis-alkene acid, nonplanar phenanthrene diacid, dibenzobicyclic dichloride, macrocyclic catechol diether

A Is the selected compound: Chiral or Achiral

B If the compound is chiral, classify it as:
Center
Axial
Planar
