Introduction:

A carbon which has all the four different atoms or group of atoms has tetrahedral geometry and such carbon molecule is referred to as chiral carbon. The two different forms in which a single chiral center can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.
