Expert Solution
Step 1

the condition for the molecules to rotate the plane-polarized light is that the symmetry {plane of symmetry, the centre of symmetry, the alternate axis of symmetry} should be absent in that molecule. if it contains any symmetry then it is optically inactive and it will not rotate the plane-polarized light.
