Answer» Correct Answer - D (+) 2-methyl butan-1-ol and (-) 2-methyl butan-1-ol are enantiomer. They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Hence, they are optically active. The optial activity of a compound can be confirmed by the value of specific rotation. It is defined as the rotation produced by solution of 10 cm length and uniti concentration (1g/mL) for the given `lambda` of light at the given temperature. |
