When this happens, the tetrahedron will become irregular ; it will cease to have a plane of symmetry. A com- pound having the formula CHXYZ ought therefore to exist in two enantio- morphous forms; and this is known to be the case. As an illustration of this, we may take lactic acid, which may be… … cL IxteJxo clckL L~lajytio wczcL Fig. 8. When a compound contains an asymmetric carbon atom, it is capable of existence in two enantiomorphous forms. Furthermore, it is found that all optically active compounds contain an asymmetric carbon atom, but the converse is not the case, not every substance…
