Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 2-chlorobutane
2-chlorobutane exhibits optical isomerism because it contains chiral carbon atom. A chiral centre in an organic compound is a carbon atom directly connected to four different groups. Chiral compounds with one chiral centre always exhibit optical isomerism.
