Chiral Carbon

A carbon atom attached to four different groups, providing a molecule with a non-superposable mirror image.

Asymmetric Carbon

A carbon atom bonded to four different groups, creating a chiral center and potentially optical activity in the molecule.

R or S

Descriptors in chemistry that indicate the absolute configuration of chiral centers in molecules, determining their spatial arrangement as right-handed (R) or left-handed (S).
