Question

x) Which of the following compounds is Optically inactive?:
a) Lactic acid b)
Secondary butyl chloride
c) n-propyl iodide
d) Glucose dose hem ono
of rate constant​

Answer 1

we can say that 2,2- Dichloro pentane is achiral molecule due to which it is optically inactive and their mirror image is also superimposable on each other

Answer 2

• From the question the correct answer is c) n-propyl iodide.
• It is an optically inactive compound.
• While the others lactic acid, glucose, secondary butyl chloride all are optically active compounds.
• As we know that the n-propyl iodide does not have optical activity.
• It does not rotate the plane of plane-polarized light.
