New cards

Enantiomers

If dealing with multiple chiral centers, if they all switch (R→S or S→R) then they are __?

2
New cards

Diastereomers

If dealing with multiple chiral centers, if some switch (R→S or S→R) but not all, then they are __?

3
New cards

An Enantiomer

Chiral molecules have what?

4
New cards

No Enantiomers (it is superimposable with its mirror image)

Achiral molecules have what?

5
New cards

A Meso Compound

A molecule with chiral enters but it is achiral

6
New cards

Chiral

If a molecule has an odd number of chiral centers, it is what?

7
New cards

Can be chiral or achiral (meso)

If a molecule has an even number of chiral centers, it is what?

8
New cards

Achiral

If a molecule has an even number of chiral centers and it has a plane of symmetry, it is what?

9
New cards

Even; R’s; S’s

Meso compounds always have an __ number of chiral centers and an equal number of __ and __

10
