stereoisomeriikka
Stereoisomerism is a type of isomerism in chemistry where molecules have the same molecular formula and the same constitution but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. This difference in three-dimensional structure leads to distinct physical and chemical properties. Stereoisomers are not superimposable on their mirror images or on each other. There are two main types of stereoisomerism: enantiomerism and diastereomerism.
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. They are often described as
Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. This occurs in molecules with more
