Chapter 5, Problem 4PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional formulas for both enantiomers of the molecules with chiral centers are to be written.

Concept introduction:

Chiral centers are tetrahedral atoms that have four different substituents.

Each chiral center will be either R configuration or S configuration.

Enantiomers are one of the stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable.
