The incorrect statement regarding chiarality is [NEET 2022]
A
reaction yields 
mixture of both enantiomers. B
the product obtained in 
reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows inversion of configuration.
reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows inversion of configuration. C
enantiomers are superimposable mirror image of each other.
D
a racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. They have identical
physical properties, i.e. melting point, boiling point, refracive index etc. and differ only with respect to the rotation of plane polarized light. If one of the enantiomer is dextrorotatory, then the other will be laevorotatory.
