Explanation:
Ibuprofen is a chiral compound. 'Chiral' means that it has the ability to rotate plane polarised light owing to the presence of an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom. There are two known stereoisomers of the compound; the S- stereoisomer and the R-stereoisomer. The both are shown using wedge and dash perspectives in the image attached.
