How to use in-sentence of “enantiomers”:
– Pure enantiomers also have optical activity and can be separated only with the use of a chiral agent.
– A racemic mixture is one which has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule.
– This means the Chirality chirality of their enantiomers are almost equally left- and right-handed.
– A mixture of equal amounts of the two enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
– Enantiomers, are also called “optical isomers.” Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are like mirror images of each other but can’t be turned around or moved so that they are the same, the way a right hand and a left hand of the same person are mirror images of each other.
– Because the difference between right and left hands is easy to understand, chemists call enantiomers either ‘right-handedright-‘ or ‘left-handed’.
– Compounds that are enantiomers to each other have the same physical properties, except for the direction in which they rotate polarized light and how they interact with different optical isomers of other compounds.
