Stereocenter by Wikipedia Bot 0
A stereocenter (or stereogenic center) is an atom in a molecule that is bonded to four different groups or atoms in such a way that the spatial arrangement of these groups creates stereoisomerism. This means that the arrangement of the groups around the stereocenter can lead to at least two distinct three-dimensional configurations, known as enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
