Enantiomers are molecules that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of one another. This the official definition but we will use some tips...

Whenever we have a chiral carbon, there is a configuration that can be assigned to it, describing the spatial orientation of the groups...

A meso molecule is a molecule that has two or more chiral centers (carbons with four different groups) but yet is achiral due to having a...

Are the following structures chiral as drawn? When placed in a solution at 298K, which structure will show optical rotation? Explain Are...

Meso compound is a compound with chiral centers but it is achiral because it has a line of symmetry that cuts the molecule in two...

Are the formulas within each set identical, enantiomers, or diastereomers? Enantiomers = all chiral centers are opposite stereochemistry...

Label the four chiral centers in amoxicillin, which belongs to the family of semisynthetic penicillin. A chiral center is an atom...
