stereocenters can be
defined as
enantiomers (non-
superposable mirror images) and
diastereomers (non-
superposable, non-identical, non-mirror
image molecules)...
- or more stereocenters, the
molecule is not chiral. A meso
compound is
superposable on its
mirror image (not to be
confused with superimposable, as any two...

there are up to four
possible configurations, and they
cannot all be non-
superposable mirror images of each other. The
possibilities for
different isomers...
- of
molecular entities which are
mirror images of each
other and non-
superposable.
Enantiomer molecules are like
right and left hands: one
cannot be superposed...
-
perhaps the most
recognized example of chirality. The left hand is a non-
superposable mirror image of the
right hand; no
matter how the two
hands are oriented...

especially useful for more
complex compounds.
Diastereomers are non-
superposable, non-identical stereoisomers. A
common example of
diastereomerism is...

other by a reflection: they are
mirror images of each
other that are non-
superposable.
Human hands are a
macroscopic analog of this.
