11) The maximum number of optical isomers that can be represented by the molecular formula C3H6BrCl is?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
e) 6

Sagot :

Answer:

The molecular formula C3H6BrCl has a maximum number of 6 optical isomers. (Option e. 6)

Explanation:

H

H2C - C - CH3 -> chiral carbon in the center = 2 optical isomers

Br Cl

H2C - C - CH3 -> chiral carbon in the center = 2 optical isomers

Cl Br

Br

3HC - CH2 - CH -> chiral carbon at the tip = 2 optical isomers

Cl

OPTICAL ISOMERISM:

Isomerism of plane substances with the same plane structure but different spatial structures. They are compounds capable of deflecting polarized light.

To identify a compound with optical isomerism, one must identify the presence of chiral/asymmetric carbon (4 different ligands).
