Welcome to our educational video on Stereoisomerism, where we explore the intriguing world of chiral molecules, chiral centers, and optical isomerism.

In this video, we delve into the concept of chirality, which occurs when a molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image. We'll discuss what makes a molecule chiral, focusing on chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four different groups. You'll learn how to identify these chiral centers in a molecule, a crucial skill in understanding stereochemistry.

Furthermore, we'll cover the fascinating topic of optical isomerism, where chiral molecules exist as pairs of enantiomers, non-superimposable mirror images. By the end of this video, you'll understand how to determine the number of possible stereoisomers a chiral molecule can have, a key aspect of stereochemistry with important implications in various fields, including pharmacology and materials science.

Whether you're a student learning about stereochemistry for the first time or a seasoned chemist looking to deepen your understanding, this video is designed to be informative and engaging, providing you with a solid foundation in the principles of stereoisomerism.
