Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way in which it can be determined that the observed rotation is
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule. It rotates the plane of a plane polarized light.
