Vedclass · Answer

(A) Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. They possess identical physical properties such as melting point,boiling point,density,and refractive index in an achiral environment. However,they differ in their interaction with plane-polarized light. One enantiomer rotates the plane of plane-polarized light to the right (dextrorotatory,denoted by $+$),while the other rotates it to the left (levorotatory,denoted by $-$) to the same extent. Therefore,they differ in the sign of their specific rotation.
