Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other. Enantiomers are in every other respect chemically identical.
In chemistry, an enantiomer – also called optical isomer, antipode, or optical antipode – is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superposable, much as one's left and right hands are mirror images of each other that cannot appear identical simply by reorientation.
these types of stereoisomers can be considered as mirror images of each other. A common example of a pair of enantiomers is dextro lactic acid and laevo lactic acid, whose chemical structures are illustrated below. Another important example of an enantiomer pair is provided below.
