Which of the following describes the relationship between enantiomers regarding their physical properties?
- They react at identical rates with achiral reagents and other chiral molecules such as enzymes.
- They possess different solubilities and boiling points, allowing separation by fractional distillation methods.
- One enantiomer is invariably a solid at room temperature, while its mirror-image partner remains a liquid.
- They have identical melting and boiling points but rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions.
