Indicate whether the following substance is optically active or not.
This problem is based on the concept of optical activity and chirality.
A compound is said to be optically active when it rotates the plane polarized light. An optically active compound contains chiral carbons. Thus, it is required for a molecule to have a chiral carbon in order to possess the phenomena of optical activity.
A chiral carbon is the carbon having four completely different groups or substituents attached to it.
