IPA(Pronunciation)
Noun
countable
uncountable
(chemistry)
A
form
of
isomerism
in
which
atoms
are
arranged
differently
about
a
chiral
centre
(or
centre
of
asymmetry).
They
exhibit
optical
activity,
and
in
a
molecule
with
a
single
chiral
centre
the
two
isomers
(enantiomers)
are
mirror
images
of
each
other
whereas
in
a
molecule
with
multiple
chiral
centres
the
isomers
(diastereoisomers)
are
not
normally
mirror
images.
