Enantiomers are examples of
Correct answer: C. Optical Isomers
- A. Cis Isomers
- B. Trans Isomers
- C. Optical Isomers
- D. Geometric isomers
Explanation
Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other, but are not superimposable. They have the same molecular formula, bond sequence, and functional groups, but differ in the three-dimensional arrangement of their atoms. This difference in arrangement leads to differences in their optical properties, such as rotation of plane-polarized light.Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomer, and are specifically known as optical isomers

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
