OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mirror image of a molecule and inversion of chirality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that's all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they are enantiomers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MY professor told me otherwise, and I don't get it

@Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are enentiomers right?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

if it rotates clockwise, it is dextrorotatory, or (R) orientation, as you would say, and vice versa with (S).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So they are enantiomers, aren't they?
