POLARIMETRY - Q10


10) What do you mean by (i) molecular rotation, and (ii) rotatory dispersion?

Ans: 
  • Molecular rotation: The value equaling 1/100 of the product of the specific rotation of an optically active compound and its molecular weight.
  • Rotatory dispersion: The variation in rotation with the wavelength of the light is called rotatory dispersion.
