hello all!
this is a question from january 2011 chem unit 5!

2 Which of these four amino acids could NOTTT rotate the plane of plane-polarised light?
A H2NCH(CH3)COOH
B H2NCH(CH2COOH)COOH
C H2NCH2COOH
D H2NCH(CH2SH)COOH

answer is C

I know that chiral carbon causes the rotation
but im confused about how do we know that which 1 has chiral centre and which doesnt :(

waiting for reply!-_-

you can draw a rough shape of the compund and check which has 4 different groups attached to it

ya it is C
draw all the structures
so which structure as both pie and sigma bong does not rotate

there are three answers i got it think and see which one would you prefer to understand.

1st answer-Effective nuclear charge is the portion of the nuclear charge that is experienced by the highest energy level electrons.
2nd answer-ENC is the charge felt by the valence electrons after you have found the number of shielding electrons that surround the nucleus.
3rd answer-Also known as the kernel charge, ENC is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

chiral cntres are the carbon atom attached to four different atom/groups

You mean, three bond pairs and one lone pair...? It's  107.3°.

n if 2 bond n 2 lone pairs ?

104.4°
