Enantiomers | MCAT Chemistry

This video talks about enantiomers. Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomer. They are mirror-image isomers of each other that cannot be superimposed onto one another. In this video, we explain the concept of non-superimposability with examples. We also talk about the importance of being able to differentiate enantiomers by giving the thalidomide example. We explore how polarimetry and interactions with stereospecific enzymes could help us differentiate them. This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
