Question

multiple choice 2 points
which of the statements below correctly describes an achiral molecule?
the molecule might be a meso form.
the molecule has an enantiomer.
the molecule exhibits optical activity when it interacts with plane - polarized light.
the molecule has a nonsuperimposable mirror image.

Explanation:

An achiral molecule lacks chirality. Meso - forms are achiral despite having chiral centers due to an internal plane of symmetry. Molecules with enantiomers are chiral. Chiral molecules exhibit optical activity with plane - polarized light and have non - superimposable mirror images. So, an achiral molecule might be a meso form.

Answer:

The molecule might be a meso form.
