Question

which of the following statement is not correct? a) a pair of enantiomers compound will have the same melting point. b) a pair of enantiomers compound will have the same solubility in ethanol. C) a pair of enantiomers compound will have exactly the same functional groups. d)a pair of enantiomers compound will have identical optical rotations​

Answer 1

Answer:

Enantiomers will NOT have identical optical rotations. (d) is incorrect.

Explanation:

Unlike cis trans isomers, enantiomers have mostly same physical properties like melting point, solubility etc. They also possess the same formula, therefore, they must have the same functional groups.

Optical rotation or rotation of plane polarized light is in equal and opposite directions.
