Enantiomers, Diastereomers, constitutional isomers, Meso compounds

Enantiomers

chiral compounds that have non-superimposable mirror images

diastereomers

Same molecular formula, same bond-to-bond connectivity, not mirror images, non-superimposable.

constitutional isomers

same molecular formula, different connectivity

meso compounds

Optically inactive (achiral) molecules with two chiral centers; have a plane of symmetry between their centers which divides the molecule into halves that are mirror images of each other.
