Lactic acid in which a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid group and a hydrogen atom are attached to a central carbon atom shows optical isomerism due to the molecular geometry at the :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Central carbon atom

Option C (Central carbon atom) is correct because the central carbon atom is chiral, meaning it is bonded to four different groups, leading to optical isomerism.

Keto-enol tautomerism is not observe in How many isomers of

{C_5}{H_{11}}OH

will be primary alcohols? Which statement is true? Common reactions of benzene and its derivatives are: How many structural formulae are possible for

{\mathrm{C}_5}{\mathrm{H}_{11}}\mathrm{Cl}?

Assertion (A): The compounds that have the same constitution and sequence of covalent bonds but differ in relative positions of their atoms or groups in space are called stereoisomers.

Reason (R): Stereoisomerism is a special type of isomerism which can be classified as geometrical and optical isomerism
