A. Construct two models of 1-bromo-1-chloroethane. Test to see if the two models are superimposable on one another. If they are superimposable, change the position of Br and Cl on one model. Now you have two models that are not superimposable. These two are enantiomers, non-superimposable mirror image isomers. (Turn, twist, rotate, do anything that you want to these models except interchange the positions of the groups; they remain non-superimposable.) Position these enantiomers so that they appear as mirror images. Arrange them so that the Br is on top and the CH3 is on the bottom of the chiral carbon atom, and the H and Cl are coming out of the plane toward you. Now draw the projection formulas for these enantiomers. Br
