A colloquial term for a tornado. Typhoon. A hurricane that forms in the Western Pacific Ocean. It is a term used in Australia for a tropical cyclone in the northwestern Pacific with maximum winds above 117 kilometers per hour (63 knots). strong wind characterized by a sudden onset in which the wind speed increases at least 16 knots and is sustained at 22 knots or more for at least one minute. In Canada, a squall is defined as a strong, sudden wind which generally lasts a few minutes then quickly decreases in speed.
These pairs of molecules are called enantiomers. Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. When we imagine a pair of enantiomers, we can compare them to a pair of hands. When we look down at our palms, like in the picture shown below, we can see that they are mirror images of one another.
What is an Enantiomer. An enantiomer is one of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are non-superposable. Enantiomers have identical chemical and physical properties except for their ability to rotate plane-polarized light (+/-) by equal amounts but in opposite directions. Enantiomers interact differently with other chiral molecules i.e. biologically active molecules as aminoacids, sugars, steroids etc.
