An oranic compound will show optical isomerism if in its molecule

Options

A. all the ligands bonded to caron atom are identical
B. two ligands bonded to carbon atom are different
C. three groups bonded to carbon atom are different
D. four groups bonded to carbon atom are different

Answer

D

Explanation

Presence of just one chiral carbon atom (i.e. carbon atom bonded to four different ligands) in the molecules makes the compound optically active.
