Build Your Stereochemistry Map Fast
Turn your chemistry notes into a clear map of stereoisomer relationships you can study and test yourself on.
Map from your own notes
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX or text file of your stereochemistry lecture and get a branched map.
Compare isomer types clearly
Branches separate chirality, mirror images and non-mirror-image stereoisomers so relationships stay visible.
Quiz yourself from the map
Turn the map into a quiz on enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds before your exam.

Enantiomers and Diastereomers: A Concept Map Guide
Enantiomers and diastereomers are both types of stereoisomers, which have the same connectivity but different three-dimensional arrangements. Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, while diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images. A mind map of this topic separates these two relationships so each property is easy to compare and remember.
- Stereoisomers: same bonds, different spatial arrangement of atoms
- Enantiomers: non-superimposable mirror images, opposite configurations at every stereocenter
- Diastereomers: non-mirror-image stereoisomers, including epimers and geometric isomers
- Chirality: a molecule with a stereocenter that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image
- Meso compounds: achiral molecules with stereocenters that are not enantiomers of themselves
Use the map to review how to identify each relationship, then practise assigning R and S configurations. Generate your own personalized map from your chemistry notes with CogniGuide.
Enantiomers and Diastereomers Questions
Common questions about stereoisomers and how to map them.
What is the main difference between enantiomers and diastereomers?
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images, with every stereocenter inverted. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. They can differ in physical properties like melting point and solubility.
Can a molecule with two stereocenters have an enantiomer and a diastereomer?
Yes. A molecule with two stereocenters has up to four stereoisomers. Its enantiomer is the mirror image with both centers inverted, and its diastereomers are the forms that invert only one center.
Which files can I use to make this map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Is the CogniGuide mind map generator free to try?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed, and you can turn the finished map into a quiz.
