Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The enantiomers
Concept introduction: Enantiomers of a compound are the stereoisomers which are non-super imposable mirror images. A carbon atom bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon. A compound which has a chiral carbon can be resolved into enantiomers.
The naming of chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chirality center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.
