Which is not true about enantiomers?
a. they have "handedness"
b. nonsuperimposable mirror images
c. symmetrical, with superimposable mirror images
d. rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions
Enantiomers are molecules that are mirror images of one another. This means they have the same connectivity of the same atoms in the molecules but have an opposite 3-dimensional orientation – like the two palms of the hand. This means they polarised light in opposite directions but with equal effect.
