Question

difference between retention and inversion

Answer 1

RETENTION
Retention refers to the process wherein the configuration of the molecule is retained after the reaction. Therefore the product molecule has the same configuration as the reactant molecule.

INVERSION
Inversion refers to the process wherein the configuration of the molecules is reversed during the course of the reaction. Therefore, the product is of the opposite enantiomeric form as compared to the reactant.

Answer 2

Answer:

RETENTION OF CONFIGURATION

It Is the process in which the arrangement of bonded atoms or group around the stereo center remain same after the configuration is called retention

INVERSION OR CONFIGURATION

It Is the process in which the arrangement of bonded atom or groups around the stereo center get inverted after the configuration is called inversion
