7 0

The given compound 3-chloro-2,2,5-trimethylhexane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center  of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has  chiral center.

Here the chiral carbon has 4 distinct groups such as : chlorine , hydrogen , 2-methylpropyl , tertbutyl .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group  is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .

What happens when the electron moves from the first energy level to the second energy level?
STatiana [176]
If an electron moves up from the first orbit to the higher energy levels, energy will be absorbed by the electron itself and no emission line produced.
But if it moves from the orbits 6,5,4 and 3 to orbit 2, energy will be released by the electron and different emission lines wll be produced.
