Thanks! Okay so I get why it's J but then this small doubt
So rotating G would look like that so can you explain how when "you rotate G the COOH which is coming out of the plane of paper would now go into the plane of paper"
Because according to the diagram on rotation it would be along the same plane of the paper...
See basically in your diagram what you're doing is shifting the groups in two dimension however in reality it would be the three-dimensional model the whole bond along with the group would rotate.So on rotation of 180 degree the bonds that go in come outwards and those that come out intially go inwards, however the ones along the plane remain intact.I can imagine it would be hard to visualize so basically let's say this diagram R2 would be COOH, NH2 would be R1 and R3 is H.So if you visualize rotating it you should get J.Thanks!
