A)It is dextrorotatory.
B)It is levorotatory.
C)It is an equal mixture of + and -.
D)It is the mirror image of the (S)-enantiomer.
E)(R)indicates a racemic mixture.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(R) and (S) indicate the absolute configuration of a chiral molecule based on the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priority rules. (R) is the configuration for the enantiomer that rotates polarized light clockwise, and (S) is the configuration for the enantiomer that rotates polarized light counterclockwise. Thus, the (R)-enantiomer is the mirror image of the (S)-enantiomer.
