    Study Notes

    Stereochemistry

    • Stereochemistry is the study of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules and how it affects chemical reactions.

    Chirality

    • A chiral object is one that is not superimposable on its mirror image.

    Stereoisomers

    • Steroisomers are molecules with the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differing in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

    Tetrahedral Carbon

    • A tetrahedral carbon is a carbon atom bonded to four different atoms or groups.

    Enantiomers

    • Enantiomers are molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

    Optical Activity

    • Optical activity is the phenomenon where two enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions.
