Answer»

Archiral molecules are superimposable

Solution :Achiral molecules are superimposable.
Racemic mixtures are optically inactive due to EXTERNAL compensation.
If during a reaction, no bond to the STEREO centre is broken, the product will have the same general configuration of atoms or GROUP i.e., retention of configuration as

Even though sign of optical ROTATION has changed but configuration is retended.
