Optical Isomer Flashcards
1
Q
Optical Isomer
A
stereoisomerism same structural different arrangement of atoms in space.
2
Q
Chiral Carbon
A
4 different groups attached 2 different molecules called enantiomers ( tetrahedral shape).
3
Q
Plane Polarised Light
A
Optically active isomer pass light through polaroid only allowing one ossocilation of light therefore will rotate
4
Q
Racemate
A
equal amount of enantiomer do not rotate plane polarized light
