A series of chiral and achiral objects, the interaction of polarized light with organic molecules, the assignment of R- and S- configuration, Fisher projections, and a stereospecific reaction are demonstrated.
Polarizing filters and the rotation of polarized light by chiral compounds are demonstrated and a polarimeter is shown. Several everyday objects are examined between polarizing filters.
Solutions of the D and L configurations of vanadyl tartrate complexes are mixed. The mixture changes color as a complex that contains one tartrate ligand in the D configuration and another in the L configuration is formed.
