Number of optical isomers possible for $2$ – chlorobutane ........

Answer:

2.00

Solution:

The number of optical isomers possible for a compound is $2^{n}$ where $n =$ number of asymmetric carbon atoms.

As $n =1$ for $2 - chlorobutane$ , it is an optically active molecule with one chiral carbon atom and it forms dextro and laevo isomers.

$2^{n} = 2^{1} = 2$ .

Hence, it has two optical isomers.
