Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Define racemic mixture and suggest about is optically activity.

Concept Introduction:

A compound or substance is said to be optically active if it is able to rotate plane of polarized light. There are two possibilities that a stereoisomer is not optically active, internal compensation and external compensation.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The figure can rotate the plane of polarized light by 4.52 counterclockwise, 1. what is its configuration based on optical activity, 2. what is the absolute and relative configuration of the figure and 3. what is the angle of rotation  of the plane-polarized light of its ENANTIOMER
What values would you expect for the e.e, percent (+) and percent (-) isomers present in the starting racemic mixture?
which compound is more acidic 2,2-dichlorobutan-1-ol or butan-1-ol?
