QJEEM02Cha70d: JEE Main 2002 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM02Cha70d Solution: Racemic mixture is formed by mixing two
Racemic mixture is formed by mixing two
Multiple Choice Options
- A isomeric compounds
- B enantiomers with chiral compounds
- C meso compounds
- D optical isomers
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
A mixture of equal amount of two enantiomers is called a racemic mixture. A racemic mixture does not rotate plane polarized light. They are optically inactive because for every molecule in a racemic mixture that rotate plane of polarized light in one direction, there is a mirror image molecule that rotates the plane in opposite direction.
