Optical Isomers cannot be rotated or manipulated to assume the structure of another isomer.
Why are (R)-2-chloropentane & (2)-2-chloropentane optical isomers when all I have to do is just rotate the sigma bond between Carbon 2 &3 to convert between them?
I am having such an difficult time with stereochemistry. I even have the molecular model set out. Thinking about a tutor
