Q69 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 1) · Chemistry
The incorrect statement regarding chirality is :
- AThe product obtained by reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows inversion of configuration.
- Correct answerBEnantiomers are superimposable mirror images on each other.
- CA racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation.
- Dreaction yields mixture of both enantiomers.
Solution
The product obtained by reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows inversion of configuration because incoming nucleophile attacks from opposite side of the leaving group.
Enantiomers are non superimposable mirror images of each other. A racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation due to external compensation of optical rotation of the mixture.
Enantiomers are non superimposable mirror images of each other. A racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation due to external compensation of optical rotation of the mixture.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
