CANNOT BE HAND DRAWN!

Please help correct my work

Determine if your molecule contains any chiral carbons. If there are chiral carbons in your molecule, circle or highlight all of them. If your molecule does not contain any chiral carbons explain why none of the carbons are chiral.

II. Handedness
Isn't this a chiral C? It has 4 different groups.
The molecule has no chiral carbons, as no carbon atoms have any valences connected to other
atoms/groups.
If and only if all four valences of a carbon are bound to separate atoms or groups, it may have
chiral characteristics.
