Question

Difference between mesomeric and racemic mixture

Answer 1

Difference between racemic mixture and meso form

A meso compound or meso isomer is a non-optically active member of a set of stereoisomers, at least two of which are optically active. ... The meso compound must not be confused with a 50:50 racemic mixture of the two optically-active compounds, although neither will rotate light in a polarimeter.
