Step 1
Optical isomers are stereoisomers where two compounds have the same number of atoms and bonds but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and each of this compound is called an enantiomer.
Optical activity is the rotation of plane linearly polarized light around the optical axis of the molecule and is measured using a polarimeter.
