Vedclass · Answer

(B) Optical activity is shown by molecules containing at least one chiral carbon atom (a carbon atom attached to four different groups).In $CH_3-CH_2-CH(OH)-CH_3$ $(	ext{Butan-2-ol})$,the second carbon atom is chiral because it is bonded to four different groups: $-H$,$-OH$,$-CH_3$,and $-CH_2CH_3$.Thus,it is optically active.

Which of the following can show optical activity?
