Question
Which of the following can exhibit optical isomerism?(a) 1 and 2(b) 2 and 4(c) 3 only(d) 2 only
Step 1
Optical isomerism occurs in compounds that have a chiral center, which is an atom (usually carbon) that has four different groups attached to it. These compounds can exist in two non-superimposable mirror-image forms called enantiomers. Now, let's analyze the Show more…
