Dextrogyration

/ˌdɛkstroʊdʒaɪˈreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or process of rotating toward the right, particularly the clockwise rotation of polarized light by certain molecules.

Etymology

From dextrogyrate plus -ion suffix. Developed in 19th-century chemistry to describe observable optical properties of chiral molecules.

Kelly Says

When light passes through sugar solutions, it bends and twists—the amount and direction it twists (called dextrogyration if rightward) helps chemists identify what's actually in the solution!
