Identify the statement that is incorrect regarding chirality:
A racemic mixture shows zero optical rotation
reaction yields a 1:1 mixture of both enantiomers
The product obtained by reaction of haloalkane having chirality at the reactive site shows the inversion of configuration
Enantiomers are superimposable mirror images on each other
The incorrect statement is that enantiomers are superimposable mirror images. By definition, the stereoisomers related to each other as non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers . The other statements are correct:
