Solution
Gemdichlorocyclopentane is optically inactive.
cis-1,2-dichloropentane and cis-1,3-dichlorpentane are optically inactive due to plane of symmetry.
trans-1,2-dichloropentane and trans-1,3-dichloropentane are optically active and exist as pair of enantiomers.
cis-1,2-dichloropentane and cis-1,3-dichlorpentane are optically inactive due to plane of symmetry.
trans-1,2-dichloropentane and trans-1,3-dichloropentane are optically active and exist as pair of enantiomers.
