The conjunction 'whereas' is used when two clauses are contrasted with each other. It carries the idea of 'on the other hand' or 'on the contrary'.

'My wife enjoys shopping for clothes, whereas her sister has no interest in what she wears.'

'Opera is one of my passions, whereas chamber music leaves me cold.'
