What is enantiomorphs ?
A chiral object and its mirror image are said to be enantiomorphs. The word chirality is derived from the Greek ???? (cheir), the hand, the most familiar chiral object; the word enantiomorph stems from the Greek ???????? (enantios) 'opposite' + ????? (morphe) 'form'. A non-chiral figure is called achiral or amphichiral.
