The difference between Enantiomer and Enantiomorph
When used as nouns, enantiomer means one of a pair of stereoisomers that is the mirror image of the other, but may not be superimposed on this other stereoisomer. almost always, a pair of enantiomers contain at least one chiral center, and a sample of either enantiomer will be optically active, whereas enantiomorph means a mirror image, a form related to another as an object is to its image in a mirror.
