each of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other is called enantiomers.
Racemisation is a conversion, by heat or by chemical reaction, of an optically active compound into an optically inactive form which half of the optically active substance becomes its miror image (enantiomer).
Chirality is a geometric property of some molecules and ions. A chiral molecule/ion is non-superimposable on its mirror image.
