Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Chiral Centers

A chiral center is a carbon atom that has four different groups attached to it. In the given molecule, we need to identify all such carbon atoms.

Step 2: Analyze Each Carbon Atom

Examine each carbon atom in the molecule to determine if it has four different groups attached to it.

Step 3: Count the Chiral Centers

Count the number of carbon atoms that meet the criteria of having four different groups attached.

Final Answer

The molecule has 8 chiral centers.
