Higher the electron density on $$O,$$ stronger is the $$H$$ - bond with water and thus more is the solubility. Thus solubility of the three ethers follow the order
263.
The $$Cl - C - Cl$$ angle in 1, 1, 2, 2 - tetrachloroethene and tetrachloromethane respectively will be about
A
$${120^ \circ }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{109.5^ \circ }$$
B
$${90^ \circ }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{109.5^ \circ }$$
C
$${109.5^ \circ }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{90^ \circ }$$
D
$${109.5^ \circ }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{120^ \circ }$$
The bond angle in $$s{p^3},s{p^2}$$ and $$sp$$ hybridization is respectively $$109.28',{120^ \circ }$$ and $${180^ \circ }.$$
Tetrachloroethene being an alkene has $$s{p^2}$$ hybridised $$C $$ - atoms and hence the $$Cl - C - Cl$$ angle is $${120^ \circ },$$ whereas in tetrachloromethane, carbon is $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised, so the angle is $${109^ \circ }.28'.$$

IUPAC name of $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}C - CH = C{H_2}$$ is
Only those compounds exhibit optical isomerism, which have chiral centre and/or absence of symmetrical elements. ( Chiral carbon is the carbon in which all the four valencies are satisfied by four different groups. )
Thus, maleic acid does not exhibit optical isomerism. NOTE
If $$R = H,$$ the $$\alpha $$ - amino acid is achiral.

Two possible stereo-structures of $$C{H_3}CHOH \cdot COOH,$$ which are optically active, are called
