← ScienceWhich effect results during chemical synthesis when chiral molecules selectively absorb polarized light?
A)Circular dichroism exhibits differential absorption✓
B)Raman scattering generates Stokes shifts
C)X-ray diffraction reveals crystal structure
D)Quantum tunneling leads to product contamination
💡 Explanation
Circular dichroism arises because differential absorption occurs as polarized light interacts with chiral target molecules; therefore, different enantiomers absorb different components of circularly polarized light rather than simply shifting the frequency via Raman scattering.
