2-chlorobutane is optically active compound. Justify your answer

Answer»

ong>Answer:

2-chlorobutane is an optically active molecule. the carbon numbered as 2 in the molecule is CHIRAL as it has different substituents [-C2H5, ch3, H, Cl] attached to it. thus it rotates plane polarised LIGHT in different directions giving rise to two enantiomers [R, S] of the compound.
