- A Sign of specific rotation
- B Density
- C Melting point
- D Refractive Index
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Sign of specific rotation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The compound which is non-superimposable on its mirror image, is called optically active or chiral and its two non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers which have all physical and chemical properties same and also rotate the plane polarised light upto same extent…
