Ryan AndrewsMeso compounds cannot rotate plane-polarized light because they possess an internal plane of symmetry, which causes the rotations of the two enantiomers to cancel each other out. Therefore, meso compounds are optically inactive.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
