Definitions:

Stereocenters

Chiral centers in a molecule, points at which the molecule can adopt different spatial arrangements leading to different stereoisomers.

Stereogenic Centers

Atoms within a molecule that are bonded to four different substituents, giving rise to stereoisomerism.

Diastereomers

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and possess different physical and chemical properties.

Diastereomers

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, differing in the arrangement of atoms around one or more stereogenic centers.
