3-methyl hexane is the alkane of lowest molecular mass which is chiral as well as optically active.
Explanation:
- The compounds whose reflection is not similar to the original are called chiral compounds.
- As per the given condition, 3-methyl hexane is considered as correct answer.
- It is because it is composed of 7 carbon atoms and its mirror image is not the same as the original compound.
- Despite all possible rotation, 3-methyl hexane original compound, as well as its reflection, are not similar.
- Thus 3-methyl hexane is considered as optically active alkane of the lowest molecular mass with the chiral property.
