What is the difference between optical isomer and optically active isomer?
Optical isomers are those which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms their optical activity means a tendency to rotate the plane of plane polarized light but some of such molecules have an internal symmetry as meso form of Tartaric acid , this is the optical isomer of Tartaric acid but is optically inactive.
Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?
CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO have chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four distinct groups. Their mirror images are non-superimposable. This asymmetry results in optical isomerism, where the molecules exist as enantiomers.
How do optical isomers rotate plane of plane polarised light?
REFER : optical rotatory dispersion

what optical isomers of tartaric acid
Is benzenepropanol an optical isomer or a geometrical isomer and why?
Benzenepropanol is an optical isomer. Optical isomers have non-superimposable mirror images due to asymmetry around at least one chiral center. Geometrical isomers, on the other hand, result from different spatial arrangements around a double bond.
What is the difference between d ascorbic and L ascorbic acid?
l ascorbic acid and d ascorbic acid are optical isomers of each other. Optical isomers have the same physical and chemical properties but bend the plane of polarisation of polarized light in different directions.It is also called ChiralitySee the related link for more info on optical isomers.
What is formula to find optical isomerism?
unsymmetrical atom & chiral carbonoptical isomers=2nmesomers=osymmetrical atom & chiral carbon- 1,3,5,...optical isomers=2n-1mesomers=2n/2-1symmetrical atom & chiral carbon- 2,4,6,...optical isomers=2n-1-2(n-1)/2mesomers=2(n-1)/2
What are the optical isomers of hexan-3-ol?
The 3rd carbon atom in hexan-3-ol is asymmetric so arrange four groups around this carbon atom in two ways the one should be mirror image of other now these are two optical isomers, d-hexan-3-ol and l-hexan-3-ol.
How many isomers of C3H6Cl2 are possible?
1,2-dichloropropane exists as an optical isomer.
What are compuonds withe the same cheimcial formule but different structure?
Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structures. They can have different physical and chemical properties due to their unique arrangement of atoms. Examples include structural isomers, geometric isomers, and optical isomers.
What are the optical isomers of d-fructose?
The optical isomers of D-fructose are D-fructose (also known as D-arabino-hexulose) and L-fructose (also known as L-sorbofuranose). These isomers differ in their spatial arrangement around a chiral carbon atom, leading to different optical properties.
Why do some isomers lack optical activity?
Some isomers lack optical activity because they have a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry that results in the molecule being superimposable on its mirror image. This makes them achiral and unable to rotate the plane of polarized light, thus lacking optical activity.
