    Optical isomerism is shown by

    A) propanol-2     

    B)        butanol-2

    C) ethanol               

    D)        methanol

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea Optical isomerism is shown by an asymmetric carbon atom which has a carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups. So, butanol-2 is optically active. \[{{H}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{butnol-2}{\mathop{\underset{OH}{\overset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]
