The stereoisomers for
Concept introduction:
Isomer: A molecule having the same molecular formula but with different chemical structure is called isomer.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable non-mirror image is called diastereomers
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.
Stereoisomers are isomers which have different spatial arrangement in spite of same bond connectivity. Stereoisomers are due to the presence of stereocenter.
A carbon attached by four different groups is called a stereocenter.
Mesocompounds have a plane of symmetry in there structure, so it will have superimposable mirror image thereby no enantiomers.
The pair of Enantiomers is non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
