Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following pairs are enantiomers?
  • Step 1: Understand what enantiomers are. Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other.
  • Step 2: Identify the two molecules in the question: D-Glucose and L-Glucose.
  • Step 3: Visualize or draw the structures of D-Glucose and L-Glucose to see if they are mirror images.
  • Step 4: Confirm that D-Glucose and L-Glucose have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since D-Glucose and L-Glucose are mirror images, they are enantiomers.
