Answer:

No, the product is not chiral

Explanation:

The compound (S)-3-Methylhexane is chiral. However, the bromination of this compound via free radical mechanism yields an achiral intermediate as shown in the image attached to this answer.

This achiral intermediate is a flat and planar tertiary radical. Attack on either face of this radical specie is possible. This leads us to obtain a 50-50 mixture of (R) and (S) - 3-bromo-3-methylhexane.

This is a racemic mixture hence it is optically inactive.

Answer:

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

Explanation:

When light enters a prism, it experiences a phenomenon called 'refraction'.

Refraction occurs when light crosses the interface between two mediums with different optical density; when this happens, the light bends and also changes speed.

The angle at which the ray of light is refracted into the second medium depends on the optical density of the two mediums, but also on the wavelength of the light.

In particular, longer wavelengths (red color) are refracted the least, while shorter wavelengths (violet color) are refracted the most.

As a result, when white light (consisting of all the colors of visible light) enters into a prism, they different wavelengths are separated: therefore, white light separates into different colors.

So, the correct answer is

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors
