Explain optical isomerism in 2-chorobutane.

Answers

Answered by vparkash407

Answer:

Answer: 2-chlorobutane is an optically active molecule. the carbon numbered as 2 in the molecule is chiral as it has different substituents [-c2h5, ch3, H, Cl] attached to it. thus it rotates plane polarised light in different directions giving rise to two enantiomers [R, S] of the compound.
