Interpretation: Relationship between two molecules of enantiomers should be described.
Concept Introduction: Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.
Answer to Problem 26LC
They have the same connectivity but opposite 3- dimensional shapes.
They are the non-superimposable mirror image of each other.
They have the same chemical and physical properties and only differ in optical rotation.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Two molecules of enantiomers have a relationship.
Molecules with the same connectivity are non-superimposable mirror images of each other but are not identical. Their physical and chemical properties are the same and only differ in the rotation of plane polarised light.
