Vedclass · Answer

(D) An asymmetric carbon atom is a carbon atom bonded to four different groups.In option $(b)$,$CH_3-CH^*(Br)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$,the carbon marked with $*$ is bonded to $-H$,$-Br$,$-CH_3$,and $-CH(CH_3)_2$. Since all four groups are different,it is asymmetric.In option $(c)$,$CH_3-CH_2-CH^*(Br)-CH_3$,the carbon marked with $*$ is bonded to $-H$,$-Br$,$-CH_2CH_3$,and $-CH_3$. Since all four groups are different,it is asymmetric.Therefore,both $(b)$ and $(c)$ contain an asymmetric carbon atom.
