Which of the following compound is optically active?
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
compound is optically active.Propanoic acid has the following structure:
Approach Solution -2
Ans: An optically active compound is the molecule that has the ability to rotate the plane of the polarised light. In the optically active compound they are not superimposable on their mirror images. They are the chiral compound which means that they have all the four different groups attached to the carbon atom. In the question, CH₃CHOHCOOH is optically active. Only it has a carbon atom that have all four different atoms attached to it.

Top JEE Main Questions
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
