enantiomers are non super imposable mirror images of each other.

Means if we 2 compounds with same molecular formula....

Then the 2 of the compounds cannot have mirror image relationship with each other.

 

Racemisation: When we mix 2 enantionmeric cmpd then we get race mix mixture.

Process is called racemisation
