Chiral Carbon Atom Also called asymmetric carbon atom. Carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups is chiral. Its mirror image will be a different compound (enantiomer). 2013 Pearson Education,Inc. Chapter5 7

Stereocenters An asymmetric carbon atom is the most common example of a chirality center. Chirality centers belong to an even broader group called stereocenters.A stereocenter (or stereogenic atom)is any atom at which the interchange of two groups gives a stereoisomer. Asymmetric carbons and the double-bonded carbon atoms in cis-trans isomers are the most common types of stereocenters. 2013 Pearson Education,Inc. Chapter 5 8
