Optical isomers are isomers of molecules which are non-superimposible. They have a left hand and a right hand and this is how you distinguish between them.

Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?
These are not optical isomers they are functional group isomers a subcategory of structural isomers.
How many optical isomers in tartaric acid?
4
Why are optical isomers not found in CH2ClBr?
Optical isomers are found only if there is chiral centre. There is no chiral centre in CH2ClBr due to the presence of two hydrogens on a single carbon.
How do optical isomers rotate plane of plane polarised light?
REFER : optical rotatory dispersion
What are the uses of pro-quest 5000?
what optical isomers of tartaric acid
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 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.
Why do some isomers lack optical activity?
doesnt have the right number of neutrons
How many isomers of C3H6Cl2 are possible?
1,2-dichloropropane exists as an optical isomer.
What are epimers?
Epimers are refer to one of two optical isomers that differ from each other only in the configuration about one asymmetric carbon atom (that is, the epimeric carbon).
What is the cause of optical activity?
Optical activity happens in a solution with components of quartz, sugar or certain gases. It is when the plane of linearly polarized light is turns to the direction of movement through the components.
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.
