Optical Activity of Tartaric Acid Stereoisomers. last is called the meso form and is superposable with its mirror image. Thus the chirality of the two asymmetric carbon atoms cancels and this molecule is not opticallyactive.

The optical isomerism of tartaric acid
- Optical isomerism means two compounds having the same molecular formula but the arrangement of atoms is different.
- For Optical Isomerism Compounds needs to have Chiral atom in it.
- Optical isomers rotate the plane-polarised light in clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
- Tartaric acid contains two chiral carbon atoms.
- So, 3 isomer forms of tartaric acid.
- These three isomer forms d-tartaric acid, l-tartaric acid, and meso-tartaric acid.
- From the three two are non- superimposable object. The others are enantiomers.
