Q
Q: Which of the following statements about optical isomers is true?
Solution:
Optical isomers, or enantiomers, rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what optical isomers are. They are molecules that are mirror images of each other.
Step 2: Learn about plane-polarized light. This is light that vibrates in only one direction.
Step 3: Know that when optical isomers are placed in the path of plane-polarized light, they affect the light differently.
Step 4: One optical isomer will rotate the light in a clockwise direction, while the other will rotate it in a counterclockwise direction.
Step 5: Conclude that the statement about optical isomers rotating plane-polarized light in opposite directions is true.
