Answer 2

A pure single compound with chiral carbons has shown optical activity as zero. The compound may be​ in meso form.

Explanation:

• Chiral carbon atoms are those carbon atoms that are attached to four different groups or substituents.
• They are placed at the corners of a tetrahedron.
• Chiral carbon is also called stereogenic carbon or asymmetrical carbon.
• They are optically active which means when a beam of plane-polarized light passes through a chiral molecule, it will interact with the molecule in a way that the angle of the plane of oscillation will rotate.
• A meso compound is congruent to its own mirror image.
• Because it is not chiral, a meso compound cannot be optically active.
• They are optically inactive because of the plane of symmetry due to which the optical rotations of upper and lower parts are equal and in opposite directions.
• They are balanced internally and the compound becomes optically inactive.
