These isomers, known as enantiomers, differ in their optical activity—they rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions. This isomerism is common in compounds with a chiral center, often a carbon atom attached to four different groups. The ability of optical isomers to rotate light and their biological significance, such as in drug action, makes this phenomenon essential in organic chemistry\n
