Is phenylmethanol optically active?
No, it is not optically active.
Is allene optically active or not?
Allenes are optically active.
What does optically active mean in organic chemistry?
Optically active compounds which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms. These carbon atoms are called chiral carbon. These atoms are sp3 hybridized.
Are diastereomers optically active?
Not necessarily , the meso form is optically inactive.
Is lactose optically active?
Yes

No, it is not optically active.
Is allene optically active or not?
Allenes are optically active.
What does optically active mean in organic chemistry?
Optically active compounds which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms. These carbon atoms are called chiral carbon. These atoms are sp3 hybridized.
What is asymmetrical symmetry?
The synthesis of an optically active compound from an optically inactive compound with or without using an optically active reagent.
Are diastereomers optically active?
Not necessarily , the meso form is optically inactive.
When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
When light travels from a less optically dense medium to an optically denser one it bends.which statemant describe the bending?
Refraction.
Is lactose optically active?
Yes
Can you make a sentence using the word optically?
Although the alignment of the lenses was optically correct he couldn't see anything at all through them.
How can you identify is the substance is optically active?
An Optically active substance is one in which the carbon is bonded to 4 different groups i.e a chiral compound
Are enantiomers are optically active?
Alanine is optically active because it has a chiral center, which is essential for a molecule to be optically active.
What are the conditions for total internal reflection to take place?
Light must travel from the optically denser medium to the optically less dense one. For total internal reflection to occur, the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium must be greater than the critical angle of that medium. The critical angle is that angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.
