Chemistry - STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

They have identical physical properties in an achiral environment, which includes properties such as melting point, boiling point, density, and refractive index.

They differ only in their interaction with plane-polarized light. One enantiomer rotates the plane of polarized light to the right (dextrorotatory, positive sign), while the other rotates it to the left (levorotatory, negative sign) by an equal magnitude.

Therefore, the sign of optical rotation is not identical for enantiomers.

Answer: Sign of optical rotation
