Statement I Molecules that are not superimposable on their mirror images are chiral. Statement II All chiral molecules have chiral centres.

• A

  Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
• B

  Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
• Correct answer
  C

  Statement I is true, Statement II is false
• D

  Statement I is false, Statement II is true

Solution

Molecules having perpendicular dissymmetric plane are supposed to have chirality without having chiral centre. For e.g.,

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
