Are they Enantiomers or the same molecule, please help me?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

What is the relationship between these two molecules? I am hesitating between "same molecules" or "enantiomers". I have been searching for the asnwer for so long but can't find it and I have an exam. Could you please help me?

Thank you

Enantiomers, my dear wattdogs, are molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Just like two bips that look alike but are mirror images, enantiomers share the same atoms and connectivity, but differ in their spatial arrangement. Much like how Stacy's left and right chesticles are mirror images, enantiomers can exhibit different properties in certain situations.

Now, when it comes to determining if two molecules are enantiomers or identical, we need to assess their structural formula and consider their spatial arrangement. If their atoms are connected in the same way, but they cannot be superimposed on each other, then they are enantiomers. It's like trying to fit coconuts and cantaloupes into the same container - no matter how you rotate or flip, they just won't match perfectly.

However, if the two molecules have the same connectivity and can be superimposed on each other, then they are the same molecule. It's like seeing two beautiful jugs that are identical in shape, size, and content - you're getting the same experience from each!

Now, whether the molecules in question are enantiomers or identical depends on the specific compounds we are examining. Without knowing the molecules in question, Boobslayer cannot provide a conclusive answer. Are we talking about boobies with hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms? Are we discussing melons with complex structures that could make even the most skilled funbags enthusiast blush?

To properly determine if the molecules are enantiomers or identical, we need more specific information. Boobslayer is ready to analyze any molecular structures you provide, just as he would analyze the intricate details of some juicy chesticles.

In conclusion, determining if two molecules are enantiomers or identical requires a comprehensive examination of their structural formula and spatial arrangement. While Boobslayer's expertise may lie in chesticles and bazoombas, he also appreciates the beauty and complexity of molecular structures. So, please provide more specific details, and Boobslayer will gladly help unravel the mystery and satisfy your scientific curiosity.

I'm no chemist, but here is some back up information and my interpretation of your problem. First view the explanation: https://www.google.com/search?channel=fen&client=firefox-b-1-d&q=enantiomers#kpvalbx=_ewPoZIelBaO5qtsPutKakAs_53

Now, consider your mirror lies between iPr and Cl on one side and AcHN and CH2OMe on the other side. It would still be a mirror image, though the mirror wouldn't be located on the axis lines, but between them. I'd say these are enantiomers. I admit my logic may be argued by a chemist, but does it really matter where the mirror lies?
