  General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry, Chapter 15, Problem 15.60P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

For an optically inactive compound, there should be no chiral carbon present in the molecule that is the carbon should be bonded to two or more same atom or group of atoms. For an optically active compound, there should be a chiral carbon present in the molecule that is the carbon should be bonded to four different atom or group of atoms.
