Answer 1

Answer:

The conditions for a molecule to be optically active are:

• The compound must contain an asymmetrical carbon atom.

• The molecule must contain a chiral axis.

• The molecule must possess a chiral plane.

• The molecule does not possess any elements of symmetry.

Answer 2

Answer:

there should be no plane of symmetry and it should have a chiral carbon(with 4 of its valancies occupied by diff atoms or groups),it should rotate PPL in either cw or acw direction..
