Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional structure, the mirror image and Fisher projection formula of mirror image of d-galactitol are to be drawn. The stereochemical relationship between d-galactitol and its mirror image is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers whose molecules have nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other.

A chiral molecule is one that has a non-superimposable mirror image and an achiral molecule is one that has a superimposable mirror image.
