Question

Explain optical isomerism with an example

Answer 1

Answer:

Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space. If the arrangement in space makes the twoisomers nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other, we call themoptical isomers or enantiomers. Anexample is the amino acid alanine.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer.

Explanation:

Optical isomers are compounds that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other.

Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space.

If the arrangement in space makes the two isomers nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other, we call them optical isomers or enantiomers.

An example is the amino acid alanine.

In the above picture the rest name is COOH and just Opposite i:e HOOC in the mirror image.
