Vedclass · Answer

(B) meso compound is an optically inactive molecule that contains chiral centers but also possesses an internal plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry.For a molecule to exhibit a meso form,it must have at least two identical chiral centers and a symmetric structure.In $CH_3CH(OH)CH(OH)CH_3$ (butane$-2,3-$diol),the two central carbons are chiral and identical. In the eclipsed conformation,it can have a plane of symmetry,making it a meso compound.
