A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.

Non-<span>superimposable:
</span> The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.

Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Examples:
Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.

Why does one beach have purple sand and another beach have pink sand?

Gnesinka [82]

Ok so I’m going to break it up so it’s a bit easier to read through:

The colours are from the different rocks and minerals that make up the sand.

The little fragments of rock come from for example surrounding mountains.

It could also because sand is simply the product from erosion of the rocks rubbing each other under the action of the waves.

So if the bottom of the ocean is made of black lava for example in Hawaii, there’s a good chance of the sand being black.

In California, the sand usually looks white because it has minerals like quartz and pieces of shell that are made of calcium carbonate.

Hope this helps :)
