    as most unsymmetrical crystal system also have a centre of symmetry, if organic solids are of crystalline nature then it would belong to any of the crystal system and would possibly have atleast center of symmetry...so, can we conclude that all organic solids are optically inactive....or they are amorphous in nature?

    Solid may be either crystalline or amorphous. But it has no relation that they will possess centre of symmetry

    Bahut sare molecule mil ke solid bante hai. lekin centre of symmetry ek hi molecule me check karte hai. SiO4 is quartz. it has no centre of symmetry
