MCQ
It is possible to distinguish between optical isomers by
- AInfrared spectroscopy
- BMass spectrometry
- CMelting point determination
- ✓Polarimetry
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Polarimetry
d
By polarimetry we can distinguish between optical isomers since optical isomers have different effects on plane-polarised light (light that travels in a single plane).
