If $n$ is the number of asymmetric carbon atoms, the number of optical isomers possible is given by formula
If $n$ is the number of asymmetric carbon atoms, the number of optical isomers possible is given by formula
$\mathrm{n}^{2}$
$\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}$
$2 \mathrm{n}$
$2^{n}$
Solution
The general formula for calculating stereoisomer is: $2^{\text {n }}$, where $\mathrm{n}$ is the number of chiral centers.
Stereoisomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different spatial arrangement and chiral centers are carbons that are bonded to $4$ different groups. So, the possible no of optical isomers can be $2^{n}$.
