    No, it's have two same methyl groups Explanation- Chiral molecules usually contain at least one carbon atom with four nonidentical substituents. ... Neither will carbons on double or triple bonds be chiral centers because they can't have bonds to four different groups. When looking at a molecule, look for carbons that are substituted with four different groups.
