Question

Please help me!!

2. (4) True or False - Any molecule that does not have a plane of symmetry must be optically active _ The mirror image of a meso compound is its enantiomer and is chiral. El reactions go faster when run in water than in acetone. Rearrangements are often a complication in E2 reactions.

Answer 1

1. False, ​​​​because for a molecule to be optically active plane of symmetry as well as center of symmetry must be absent

2. False, Mirror image of meso compound will be identical structure

3. True, E1 reactions will be favourable in polar solvent

4. True, because E2 is concerted reaction i.e take place in one step therefore possibly of rearrangement is not possible
