Which of the following will exhibit chirality?

1. 2-Methylhexane
2. 3-Methylhexane
3. Neopentane
4. Isopentane

Correct answer: 2-Methylhexane

Solution

2-Methylhexane has a chiral center because the carbon at position 2 is attached to four different groups, making it asymmetric. The other options lack such a chiral center.
