As we learnt,

 

Optically active compound -

Those compounds having capacity to rotate plane polarised light is called optically active compound.

- wherein

 

 Stereoisomerism is of two types - geometrical isomerism and optical isomerism. In geometrical isomerism ligandss occupy different positions around the central atom or ion. In optical isomerism , isomers have same formula but differ in their ability to rotate directions of the plane of polarized light.
