Any help is appreciated with this,

What are the functional groups in Vitamin B5,

How many Chiral Carbons,

How many Stereoisomers?

Thankyou

What is a chiral center?  How do you identify them?

How does the number of stereoisomers relate to the number of chiral centers?

What kind of functional groups do you know?  What are the structures for the functional groups that you know?
