Question

Enantiomers differ only in ______.

Options

• boiling point

• rotation of polarized light

• melting point

• solubility

Answer 1

Enantiomers differ only in rotation of polarized light.

Explanation:

Enantiomers are molecules that exist as mirror images but cannot be overlaid. When dissolved in solution, they twist polarised light in one of two directions: dextro (d or +) or levo (I or −).
