Question

Which of the following is not true about enantiomer

• A. They have same physical property
• B. They have different biological property
• C. They have same chemical property towards chiral compound
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A They have same physical property

Enantiomers have identical physical and chemical properties under achiral conditions. Enantiomers differ in direction of the rotation of the plane polarized light (a physical property) because polarized light provides a chiral medium.

Enantiomers will rotate the plane of polarisation in exactly equal amounts (same magnitude) but in opposite directions.

Hence enantiomer Do Not show the same physical property.
