Optically Active

A substance is said to be optically active if it can rotate the plane of polarization of polarized light, a property often associated with the presence of chiral molecules.

Chiral

Describes a molecule or ion that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, often resulting in two forms (enantiomers) with different properties.

Enantiomer
