(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given set of molecules the optically active or optically inactive should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Enantiomers are chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. The molecules are non-superimposable on one another.

Optically active: These are capable of rotating the plane of polarized light to the right or left either dextrorotatory or levorotatory used of compounds, molecules, or atoms.

Optically inactive: A racemic mixture is an optically inactive; there is no net rotation of plane-polarized light. Although the two enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions, the rotations cancel because they are present in equal amounts.

(b)
