The incorrect statement regarding chirality is :
- The product obtained by reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows inversion of configuration.
- Enantiomers are superimposable mirror images on each other.
- A racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation.
- reaction yields mixture of both enantiomers.
Solution
Enantiomers are non superimposable mirror images of each other. A racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation due to external compensation of optical rotation of the mixture.
