Place the two models side-by-side on the desktop so that they both have the same color ball pointing up. Keep that atom pointing up and rotate the models so that one of the other colors is closest to the ball of the same color on the other model. (Like the picture on next page.) You should now be able to observe that the models are mirror images of each other. At the same time, they are clearly not identical. Hence, the two models represent enantiomers of each other. To resummarize all of your previous work, all molecules that possess one stereogenic center and, therefore, lack a plane of symmetry are chiral and exist as a pair of enantiomers. Again, switch any two balls on one of the models. Are the models still mirror images of each other? Does either possess a plane of symmetry? Are the models superimposable? Do the models represent identical or different structures? Do the models represent enantiomers? Why or why not?
