check the box under each structure in the table that is an enantiomer of the molecule shown below. if none of them are, check the table. none of the above

check the box under each structure in the table that is an enantiomer of the molecule shown below. if none of them are, check the table. none of the above

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall enantiomer definition

Enantiomers are non - superimposable mirror images. They have opposite configurations at all chiral centers.

Step2: Analyze each molecule

For the given molecule with a chiral center having groups HO, Cl, Br and a fourth group (implicitly a hydrogen), we check the configurations of the chiral centers in each molecule in the table. Molecule 1: The configuration is different from the given molecule at the chiral center. Molecule 2: The configuration at the chiral center is opposite to that of the given molecule, so it is an enantiomer. Molecule 3: It is identical to the given molecule. Molecule 4: The configuration is different from the given molecule at the chiral center. Molecule 5: The configuration is different from the given molecule at the chiral center. Molecule 6: The configuration is different from the given molecule at the chiral center.

Answer:

Molecule 2
