Question

which one is resolvable​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. [Does not have asymmetrical C atom because two (R) groups are same] [Ref. image (i)]

b. (It is optically active since it has an asymmetrical C atom. Four different groups are R. R

c. It is optically inactive due to the presence of diagonal plane of symmetry and alternating axis of symmetry.

d. It is optically active since it has an asymmetrical C atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

If a compound is resolvable it means that this particular compound is optically active and is of d and l-forms. This means that these compounds rotate the plane of polarized light either clockwise ( → towards the right, which is the d-form = dextrorotatory) or counter-clockwise ( → towards the left, which is the l-form = leavorotatory form)
