Q: Which of the following pairs of compounds are enantiomers?
Solution:
D-Glucose and L-Glucose are mirror images of each other, making them enantiomers.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what enantiomers are. Enantiomers are pairs of compounds that are mirror images of each other.
Step 2: Identify the compounds in the question. In this case, the compounds are D-Glucose and L-Glucose.
Step 3: Visualize or draw the structures of D-Glucose and L-Glucose. Notice that they are arranged differently but are mirror images.
Step 4: Confirm that D-Glucose and L-Glucose cannot be superimposed on each other, which is a key characteristic of enantiomers.
Step 5: Conclude that since D-Glucose and L-Glucose are mirror images and cannot be superimposed, they are indeed enantiomers.
