Question

Which of the statements is false regarding chiral compounds?
Options
A rotate the plane of polarized light
B have cis and trans isomers
Correct Answer
C exist as enantiomers
D can be detected with a polarimeter
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Chiral compounds are optically active (rotate plane-polarized light), exist as enantiomers, and can be detected with a polarimeter. Having cis/trans isomers is a property of geometrical isomerism, not chirality.

Hint

What property is associated with geometrical isomerism rather than chirality?
