Structure and Stereostructure of Molecules topics include: Chirality, stereoselectivity and stereospecificity, optical Isomerism and r, s- configuration and water softening. Stereochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules. It is also known as 3D chemistry because the prefix "stereo-" means "three-dimensionality". Stereochemistry studies the relationships between stereoisomers, which have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms but differ in the geometric positioning of the atoms in space. Stereochemistry also studies how...
