Enantiomers is a type of structural isomerism. Two structures have the same chemical formula, but they differ in the arrangement of functional groups. The key characteristic of a pair of enantiomers is that, the two structures are mirror-images of each other. Example is the two isomers of 2-butanol shown in the picture.
