$3-$bromocyclopentene

Vedclass · Answer

(C) compound is chiral if it lacks any element of symmetry (like a plane of symmetry or center of inversion).$(A)$ $4$-chlorocyclohexanone has a plane of symmetry passing through the $C_1$ and $C_4$ atoms.$(B)$ $4$-chlorocyclohex-$2$-en-$1$-one has a plane of symmetry passing through the $C_1$ and $C_4$ atoms.$(C)$ $3$-bromocyclopentene has no plane of symmetry or center of inversion,making it chiral.$(D)$ $1$-bromo-$1$-chlorocyclopropane has a plane of symmetry passing through the $C_1$ atom and the midpoint of the $C_2-C_3$ bond.Therefore,the correct answer is $(C)$.
