Enantiomers may possess different rates of reactions with other optically active compounds.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Enantiomers**: - Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. They have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangement. 2. **Identical Properties**: - Enantiomers possess identical chemical and physical properties in an achiral environment. This means that in a non-chiral medium, they will behave the same way in terms of melting point, boiling point, and density. ...
