Chiral
Molecules which cannot be superimposed upon there mirror image
Achiral
Molecules which can be superimposed upon there mirror image
Enantiomers
Pair of related molecules that are not super imposable mirror images
Chiral molecules have the same _____ properties
Chemical
Chiral molecules haven't the same _____ properties
Biological
When do molecules become chiral
Carbon atom with 4 diff groups attached to it
Stereogenic centre
Carbon atom with 4 diff groups attached to it
How many stereoisomers does a chiral molecule give rise to
2
Do chiral molecules have a plane of cemetery
No
Enantiomers rotate
Light in the opposite direction but the same no of degrees
Racemic mixture
50:50 mixture of 2 enantiomers will give no optical rotation as they cancel each other out
Specific rotation
Observed rotation depends on the length of the cell and concentration as well as the strength of the optical activity, temperature and wavelength of light
