Answers:

1. firstly Start numbering from that carbon atom which would be nearest to chlorine .

2. then if u observed properly , both chlorine is attached are attached to 2nd carbon atom.

3.but in first one chlorine is on the left side

whereas in the second one chlorine right side.

p.s:

1. well, were u have number carbon three in above pic take it as C1 than C2( if u observed it is were Cl is attached to C2 ) than C3 ,C4.

2. Then similarly in second molecules where u have number C3 in above pic take it as C1 than C2 (if u observed , again Cl is attached to C2 but this time it is one on opposite sides.

now imagine if u kept first molecules on second one.

matching C1 C2 C3 C4 of first molecules with

C1 C2 C3 C4 of second molecule .

u will observed that in both of them Cl is on C2 but they in exactly opposite position

Step-by-step explanation:

Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other.
