(HO-C-H)_3 हे संयुक ____________ आहे आणि ह्यात प्रतिबिंबिरूपितांच्या ____________ जोड्या आहेत. / The compound (HO-C-H)_3 is a ____________ and has ____________ pairs of optical isomers.
The condensed formula represents a ketohexose (6 carbons with a keto group). Based on stereochemistry, a ketohexose with 3 asymmetric centers has 4 pairs of optical isomers (enantiomers).
खालीलपैकी कोणती संयुगे प्रकाशीीय क्रियाशीलता दाखवतील ? / Which of the following compounds will show optical activity ?
Optical activity requires the presence of chiral carbon atoms (asymmetric carbons bonded to four different groups). Compounds A and C possess chiral centers, hence they show optical activity.
