Re: Identification of chiral molecules
Hi BettyC,
Is your question related to a K-12 science fair project? If so, what is the hypothesis you are trying to test? If not, then a different set of online forums will be better able to help you. These forums are specifically for K-12 students, parents, and teachers working on science fair projects.
That said, doing an internet search for "telling chirality" will bring up some pages that explain some of the ways scientists distinguish enantiomers from each other.
