JEE Advanced Chemistry question

Statement 1: A compound whose molecule has D configuration will always be dextrorotatory. Statement 2: Compounds having D configuration may be dextrorotatory or levorotatory.

(A)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
(B)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
(C)Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is TrueCorrect
(D)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False

Answer: (C)

Solution

/ configuration (from the Fischer-projection convention, relating a molecule's spatial arrangement to a reference standard, glyceraldehyde) is a purely structural/configurational label and is independent of the molecule's actual observed optical rotation (dextrorotatory, , or levorotatory, ), which is a
