Question No. 2Which of following is an optically inactive compound?CH,

1.	Question No. 2Which of following is an optically inactive compound?CH,H-ОНCH,ОНCH,CH,H-ОНHОНCH,ОНН
Answer» ANSWER: Molecules that posses chirality are OPTICALLY active. Chiral carbon is the one having all different groups attached. Propanoic acid is: CH 3 CH 2 COOH has no chirality thus its optically inactive Glyceraldehyde:HOCCH(OH)CH 2 OH has a ciral center thus its optically active Lactic acid is H 3 CCH(OH)COOH has a chiral center thus its optically active Glucose is HOCCH(OH)CH(OH)CH(OH)CH(OH)CH 2 OH has multiple chiral center thus its optically active

Answer»

Molecules that posses chirality are OPTICALLY active. Chiral carbon is the one having all different groups attached.

Propanoic acid is: CH

COOH has no chirality thus its optically inactive

Glyceraldehyde:HOCCH(OH)CH

OH has a ciral center thus its optically active

Lactic acid is H

CCH(OH)COOH has a chiral center thus its optically active

Glucose is HOCCH(OH)CH(OH)CH(OH)CH(OH)CH

OH has multiple chiral center thus its optically active
