Question
Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the sample containing equal amounts of two enantiomers is optically active or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Optical activity is an effect of an optical isomer's interaction with plane-polarized light. There are certain substances which has the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light as it passes through a solution, crystal, or liquid is said to be the optical activity.

Draw the structure for a compound with molecular formula C2H2I2F2
a. that is optically inactive because it does not have an asymmetric center.
b. that is optically inactive because it is a meso compound.
c. that is optically active.
Suppose a sample tube contained an equal amount of two enantiomers. Would you expect this solution to be optically active or optically inactive?
Is this relationship between the pair an enantiomer or diastereomer? why?
