3.3.8 & 3.3.7 (part) 
Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
2.

What is a chiral carbon?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
3.

What is a racemic mixture?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

Draw 2 enantiomers of bromochlorofluoromethane

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
5.

Draw both optical isomers of 2-hydroxypropanoic acid and mark where the chiral centre is.

For a bonus, find out the common names of this and what the differences are.

There are many examples of interesting pairs of enantiomers, especially in medical drug chemistry and aromatic chemistry. Tell me about one that interests you (if you don't want to pick your own: Thalidomide, Citalopram, Ibuprofen, Propoxyphene)
