Among the given pair of compounds, compound (I) is achiral and compound (II) is chiral.
A molecule is referred to as achiral if it has a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry. A molecule is referred to as chiral if it lacks a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry. Compound (I) is achiral because it possesses a plane of symmetry due to the presence of both OH groups at equatorial positions, which means they are on the same side of the cyclohexane ring. In compound (II) both OH groups are on the opposing side of the cyclohexane ring, there is neither a plane of symmetry nor a center of inversion so, it is chiral.
