Racemic mixture
Enantiomers rotate the plane of plane polarized light to equal extent in clockwise & anticlockwise direction. In an equimolar mixture of enantiomers, they do not show any overall optical activity. Such type of mixture of equimolar dextro & levo enantiomers is called racemic mixture or dl or, (±) mixture. This process is called racemization.
