The optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid is to be explained and the structure of its optically active form is to be drawn. Concept introduction: Optically active compounds are those consist of a chiral centre and rotate a plane of polarized light in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Tartaric acid is an α -hydroxy- carboxylic acid having a structural formula ( HO 2 CCH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CO 2 H ) . It also exists in meso form. Meso compounds are those which form superimposable mirror images of each other after having stereogenic centre in its structure. To determine: The explanation for the optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid.

Definition Definition Class of organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group ( - COOH ) and has a general formula R - COOH or R - CO 2 H , where R refers to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other groups. They can undergo different chemical reactions, such as acid-base reactions, esterification, and oxidation. These are essential components of living organisms, playing important roles in metabolic processes, signaling, and as pharmaceuticals.
