1
New cards

enantiomers

non-superimposable mirror image stereoisomers

2
New cards

stereoisomer

compounds that have the same atoms connected in the same order but differing spatial arrangements

3
New cards

constitutional isomers

compounds that have the same atoms connected in different orders and differing spatial arrangements

4
New cards

diastereomers

stereoisomers that are non-superimposable and not mirror images, only 1 or some chiral centers are changed (but not all)

5
New cards

meso compounds

compounds with chiral centers but they mirror the opposite side of the molecule, making them achiral

6
New cards

chiral molecule

has one or more chiral centers and is non-superimposable

7
New cards

non-superimposable

when a mirror image is placed over the original and they do not overlap

8
New cards

chiral centers

when a central molecule is attached to 4 distinct, different atoms or groups
