Definitions:

Chirality Center

An atom, typically carbon, in a molecule that has four different substituents and can exist in two enantiomeric forms, leading to different spatial configurations.

Stereocenter

An atom in a molecule that is bonded to four different groups, creating different spatial arrangements.

Enantiomer

Molecules that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed onto each other, commonly found in chiral molecules.

Diastereomers

Non-mirror-image stereo isomers that have varying physical and chemical properties from each other.
