Explanation

(c) CH3-C|=CH-CH2-CH3           CH3 will not show cis-trans isomerism because double bonded carbon atom have two same groups (-CH3, methyl group)

Explanation

(d) Pair of optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism are able to exhibit the phenomenon of stereoisomerism because both types of isomers differ only in their orientation in space.

α-D-glucose and β-D glucose have a specific rotation of +112° and +19° respectively. In aqueous solution the rotation becomes +52°. This process is called:

(d) It is the definition of diastereoisomers.

Diastereomers can be separated by:

Explanation

(a) 

 

  • Recrystallization: solids that are selectively crystallized in the presence of other compounds.
  • the diastereomers have formed, is to separate them using recrystallisation. This is possible because enantiomers have shared physical properties such as melting point and boiling point, but diastereomers have different chemical properties, so they can be separated like any two different molecules.
