(a)
Interpretation:
The chiral centers present in molecule (a) given in Problem
Concept introduction:
A chiral center is an atom that is attached to four different groups.
A meso compound or molecule is one that contains multiple chiral centers but is achiral because it possesses a plane of symmetry. A plane of symmetry is an internal plane that divides the molecule in two halves that are mirror images of each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chiral centers present in molecule (b) given in Problem
