enantiomorphy

Example:The sugar molecule and its enantiomorph, with the same chemical formula but different spatial arrangement, both serve as fundamental components in life.

Definition:One of a pair of non-superimposable mirror images, such as chiral molecules or structures in biology.

Example:In organic chemistry, understanding and predicting the behavior of chiral molecules is crucial for developing new pharmaceuticals and materials with specific properties.

Definition:Describing a molecule or object which is not superimposable on its mirror image, wherein enantiomers of an optically active compound are examples of chiral forms.
