Stereochemistry: Dr. Heba Alghol (introduction): The branch of chemistry that studies molecules with the same atoms but different 3D arrangements, which can significantly influence their chemical and biological behavior.
Chirality: Dr. Heba Alghol (what is chirality): A property of a molecule that is non-superimposable on its mirror image, typically involving a central carbon (stereocenter) attached to four different groups.
Achiral molecules: Dr. Heba Alghol (Achiral Molecules): Molecules that are superimposable on their mirror images; their mirror images can be aligned through rotation, indicating no chirality.
Stereoisomers: Dr. Heba Alghol (definition): Molecules with the same chemical formula and connectivity but differing in the 3D spatial arrangement of atoms; includes enantiomers and diastereomers.
Enantiomers: Dr. Heba Alghol (definition): A pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, containing at least one chiral center, with identical physical and chemical properties except for optical activity.

Stereochemistry — definition?
Study of molecules with same atoms, different 3D arrangements.
Chirality — property?
Non-superimposable on mirror image, usually with a stereocenter.
Achiral molecules — example?
Superimposable mirror images, symmetrical structures.
Enantiomers — difference?
Mirror-image stereoisomers, rotate plane-polarized light oppositely.
Diastereomers — difference?
Non-mirror stereoisomers, differ at some but not all chiral centers.
Chiral center — identification?
Carbon bonded to four different groups.
