Match the list
List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
(P) Dextro | (1) Rotate the PPL in anticlockwise direction |
(Q) Laevo | (2) Have POS |
(R) Mesomers | (3) Rotate the PPL in clockwise direction |
(S) Enantiomers | (4) Have nonsuperimposable mirror image |
| (5) Diastereomers |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
The question asks to match stereochemical terms in List-I with their correct properties/definitions in List-II.
Concept: This question is based on Optical Activity, Chirality, Plane of Symmetry (POS), Enantiomers, and Diastereomers
Solution:
Dextro (P): Rotates plane-polarized light clockwise → (3)
Laevo (Q): Rotates plane-polarized light anticlockwise → (1)
Mesomers (R): Are achiral due to plane of symmetry (POS) → (2)
Enantiomers (S): Have non-superimposable mirror images → (4)
Correct match: P–3, Q–1, R–2, S–4
Final Answer: Option (B)
