The given compound 3-bromohexane is an optically active compound .
Because this compound have di-symmetry means doesn't having center of symmetry and plane of symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .
It has chiral center.
Here , the chiral carbon is bonded to 4 different groups such as : bromine, hydrogen , ethyl and propyl.
Di-symmetry means the compound in which there is no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .
Chiral center :
the atom should be Sp3 hybridized (4sigma bond ) .
4 distinct group is attached to the chiral atom.
it forms non -superimposable mirror image .
What is optical isomerism ?
Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .
