Chapter 6, Problem 2P(choose chapter or problem)
Make a model and draw a three-dimensional structure for each compound. Then draw the mirror image of your original structure and determine whether the mirror image is the same compound. Label each structure as being chiral or achiral, and label pairs of enantiomers.

ANSWER:
Solution 2P
Step 1
Very physical object has a mirror image I, but a chiral object has a mirror image that is different from the original object.
Nonsuperimposable mirror images are called enantiomers.
If we rotate there is no change in configuration.
