Two compounds, D-2-chlorobutane and L-2-chlorobutane, are enantiomers of each other.
Name one physical property that is different for D-2-chlorobutane and L-2-chlorobutane.
Answer
Answer
AIThe direction in which they rotate the plane of plane-polarised light: D-2-chlorobutane rotates it one way (dextrorotatory, +) and L-2-chlorobutane rotates it by the same angle in the opposite way (laevorotatory, -).
