Question

Which, if any, of the following structures represent meso compounds? (Blue = N, green = Cl.)

Short answer

(b). Meso compound.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of Meso compounds.

Molecules that have a plane of symmetry are known as meso compounds.

Convert the given structure into atomic form.

Blue spheres representNitrogen,black spheres—carbon,grey spheres—hydrogen.

According to the representation of the atoms, draw the structure of the compound.

Identify the plane of symmetry

As the plane of symmetry is present in the compound, it can be considered as Meso compounds.
