1
chiral
 
objects that are not superimposable on their mirror image
2
achiral
 
has a plane of symmetry and center of symmetry
3
plane of symmetry
 
imaginary plane passing through an object and dividing it so that one half is the reflection...
4
center of symmetry
 
a point situated so that identical components of an object are located on opposite sides and...
5

pic
8
pair of enantiomers
 
pic
9
enantiomers
 
nonsuperimposable mirror images
10
chiral center
 
carbon with 4 different groups bonded to it
11
stereocenter
 
an atom about which the exchange of two groups produces a stereoisomer
12
diastereomers
 
stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. arise when there are two or more stereocenters
13
configurational isomers
 
isomers that differ by configuration of substituents on an atoms
14
diastereomers
 
pic
15
conformational isomerism
 
form of stereoisomerism where isomers can be created solely through rotations
16
atropisomers
 
isomers which lack a chiral center but do not interconvert because of hindered rotation
17
Meso compounds
 
molecules containing 2 or more chiral centers but is achiral. It also has to have chiral isomers
18
racemic mixture
 
equimolar mixture of two enantiomers
