Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.16P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether CH3(CH2)6CH3 is optically active or not needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ability of substances to rotate the plane of polarized light passes through it is defined as an optical activity of the substance. The molecules with chiral center or asymmetric in nature can show optical activity. Thus, the presence of the chiral center in the molecule is important in this case.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the given molecule is optically active or not needs to be determined.
