Which are enantiomers?
![### Question:
Identify the pairs of the following molecules that are enantiomers:
A) a) Only 1 and 2
B) b) Only 2 and 3
C) c) Only 3 and 1
D) d) none
### Diagrams:
**Molecule I:**
- Central carbon atom with four different groups: Br, H, CH₃ (methyl group), and another H.
- Bromine (Br) is represented with a solid wedge, indicating it is coming out of the plane, and one hydrogen (H) with a dashed line, indicating it is going into the plane.
**Molecule II:**
- Central carbon atom with four different groups: Br, H, CH₃ (methyl group), and another H.
- Bromine (Br) is represented with a dashed line, indicating it is going into the plane, and one hydrogen (H) with a solid wedge, indicating it is coming out of the plane.
**Molecule III:**
- Central carbon atom with four different groups: Br, H, CH₃ (methyl group), and another H.
- Methyl group (CH₃) is represented with a solid wedge, indicating it is coming out of the plane, while bromine (Br) is with a dashed line, indicating it is going into the plane.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5dad743c-ee0b-4240-a1ae-7d99106136e7%2Ff0ce49c2-3cea-42ad-962a-9bae18e6ddee%2Fqlghgjo_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Step 1
Explanation-
In above molecule 1 ,2 ,3 none of the molecules are enantiomers of each other .
Enantiomers or optical isomers are chiral molecules which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
1) RS configuration of molecule 1 and 2 are different and they have no mirror images, so they are diasteromers of each other .
1) RS configuration of molecule 2 and 3 are same and they have superimposable mirror images of each other so they are identical of each other .
