Summary
The lecture covers optical isomerism, focusing on chiral carbon, plane of symmetry, and optical activity. Key conditions for optical isomerism include the presence of chiral carbon, absence of a plane of symmetry, and non-superimposable mirror images. Instruments like polarimeters measure optical activity, differentiating between dextrorotatory and levorotatory compounds.
