Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.4YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mirror image of the molecule
Concept introduction:
An atom and its mirror image are directly opposite each other on opposite sides of the mirror. An atom and its mirror image are identical distances away from the mirror. A molecule is chiral if the mirror image, considering every orientation possible, does not superimpose with the original molecule.

Problem
How many different configurational stereoisomers exist (including the one shown) for each of the
following molecules?
In the previous problem, you saw that there were two chiral carbons in 4-bromo-3-hydroxypentanal. That molecule is drawn below with the chiral carbons circled. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers that can exist for this molecule?
Can you help me, please? Can you explain to me?
