Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule
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) .
