Question

Which is not true about enantiomers?

a. they have "handedness"
b. nonsuperimposable mirror images
c. symmetrical, with superimposable mirror images
d. rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Enantiomers are molecules that are mirror images of one another. This means they have the same connectivity of the same atoms in the molecules but have an opposite 3-dimensional orientation – like the two palms of the hand. This means they polarised light in opposite directions but with equal effect.
