If a compounds has n chical centres and compound is unsymmetric then possible number of steroisomers (or optical isomers) isA. `2^(n)`B. `2^(n+1)`C. `2sqrt(n)`D. `sqrt(2n)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A For compounds and show containing three chiral centres, there could be eight optical isomers, for compounds containing four chira centres, there could be 16 optical isomers and so on. Hence the maximum number of optical isomers that can exist is equal `2^(n)`. In any case where meso compounds exist, there will be fewer optical isomers than this maximum number. |
