Chad's video on "Isomers"
Ochem 1, Part 3....toward the very last of the video...

He is showing the exceptions about chiral and achiral molecules. Chad drew a diphenyl molecule...one on phenyl he has a Br and Br in ortho positions and its in a vertical axis....and on the other phenyl he has a Br and I in ortho positions, coming "out of the board" in a horizonal position. Chad says this diphenyl molecule is ACHIRAL. .....But this doesn't seem correct to me. Can someone explain this how it is Achiral?

Also...I have another question.

On the phenyl ring that is coming "out of the board" in a horizontal plane...Chad drew a Br and I substituent coming off of it. So, the way I see it...the Br is going up vertically, and the I is going down vertically. I think Chad forgot to draw the wedge and and dash.

If he did forget...THEN I can see how that molecule is chiral.👍
