30 years later, van't Hoff and le Bel deduced that the atoms of fluorochlorobromomethane must be arranged in a tetrahedron to explain the different "handedness" of its two forms, which also fall in this category.
The first known pair of these molecules were two different types of tartaric acid whose behavior was explained in 1844 by Louis Pasteur. 30 years later, van't Hoff and le Bel deduced that the atoms of fluorochlorobromomethane must be arranged in a tetrahedron to explain the different "handedness" of its two forms, which also fall in this category. FTP, give the term for molecules which are mirror images of each other.
