Answer:ANSWER
A compound could be optically active only when it contains atleast one asymmetric carbon atom or chiral centre.
Optical isomerism occurs mainly in substances that have the same molecular and structural formula, but they cannot be superimposed on each other. In simple words, we can say that they are mirror images of each other. Alternatively, it can also be found in substances that have an asymmetric carbon atom.
