Term
chiral
Definition
if it is not superposable on its mirror image.
Term
achiral
Definition
if it is superposable on its mirror image.
Term
meso
Definition
if it is achiral and contains two or more stereocenters
Term
enamtiomers
Definition
Stereoisomers that are non-superposable mirror images.
Term
diasteromers
Definition
Stereoisomers that are non-superposable, but are not mirror images.
Term
constitutional isomers
Definition
Isomers which contain atoms that differ in connectivity.
Term
non-isomers
Definition
Compounds that do not have the same molecular formula.
Term
superimposeable
Definition
A term that describes the ability to precisely overlap one object over another. Only identical objects
Term
stereoisomers
Definition
Isomers which have atoms that differ only by their orientation in space. Unlike constitutional isomers, corresponding atoms exhibit the same connectivity.

Term
isomers
Definition
Compounds that have the same molecular formula.

Definition
-/ +
Term
R/S
Definition
If the lowest priority group is already projected back behind the plane (dotted line) or is within the plane (solid line) then trace through the other three groups beginning with the highest priority group first as above(1,2,3 trace).
If on the other hand, the lowest priority group is projected in front of the plane (solid wedge) then trace through the other three groups beginning with the highest priority group first as above(1,2,3 trace). Reverse the trace so that if the trace was clockwise indicating "R" configuration make it "S" configured. If the trace was counter clockwise indicating "S" then reverse it and make it clockwise making it "R" configured.
