Stereoisomerism: Unlocking the Secrets of Molecular Twins

The video tutorial explains stereoisomerism, focusing on configurational and conformational isomerism. Configurational isomers include enantiomers and diastereomers, with examples like lactic acid and butane isomers. The concept of optical activity is introduced, describing how chiral compounds affect plane polarized light. The tutorial also covers the behavior of light through polarizers and the visualization of polarized light in 3D and 2D animations.

How does plane polarized light behave when it passes through a polarizer?

Describe the concept of optical activity and its significance in stereochemistry.
