(a)
Interpretation:
The optical activity of
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The molecules which have the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atom are called as isomers. There are two types of isomers,
- Structural isomers,
- Stereo isomers.
Stereo isomers:
Stereo isomers are the isomers that have same molecular formula but differ in spatial arrangement of atoms. Stereo isomers can be sub divided into two groups,
- Optical isomers
- Geometric isomers
Optical isomers:
Optical isomers are the mirror image of a molecule and they can be rotated by plane polarized light.
Conditions for optical activity,
- Molecule should possess asymmetric central atom (chiral atom).
- There should be no plane of symmetry or axis.
- Molecule should have non-super imposable mirror image.
