Question

Molecules that have non-super imposable mirror image of each other are called :

• A. chiral molecules
• B. enantiomers
• C. optically active
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D all of these

Optically active molecules are molecules having chiral carbon, also known as chiral center. These molecules are unsymmetrical and form non-super imposable mirror image. Molecule and its mirror image is known as enantiomers of each other.
