Turn Your Chemistry Notes Into a Map
Upload stereochemistry lecture slides or a textbook chapter and get a branching map of the topic you can expand and study.
Build From Your Own Material
Upload a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or text notes, and the AI extracts the stereochemistry concepts from them.
Clear Branches for Each Concept
Chirality, isomers and configuration sit on separate branches, so you can see how each idea depends on the others.
Quiz Yourself From the Map
Turn the finished map into a quiz to test R/S assignments and isomer types, or make flashcards from the same notes.

Stereochemistry Concept Map: How the Topic Breaks Down
A stereochemistry concept map shows how molecules differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space. The topic starts with chirality, the property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. From there it branches into stereoisomers, which share a formula but differ in arrangement, and into configuration, the spatial order that R and S labels describe.
- Chirality: stereocenters, asymmetric carbons and mirror images
- Enantiomers: non-superimposable mirror-image stereoisomers
- Diastereomers: stereoisomers that are not mirror images
- Configuration: R/S assignment using Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priorities
- Optical activity: rotation of plane-polarized light by chiral compounds
Use a map like this to revise before exams: test yourself on each branch, then explain how the branches connect. For a map built from your own lecture notes, try CogniGuide.
Stereochemistry Concept Map Questions
Answers about the topic and about building your own map.
What is the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers?
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images, and they usually have different physical properties such as melting point and boiling point.
What does a stereocenter have to do with chirality?
A stereocenter is an atom, usually carbon, bonded to four different groups. Its presence is the most common reason a molecule is chiral, though not every chiral molecule has a single stereocenter.
Which files can I upload to make my own stereochemistry map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my stereochemistry map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself. There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed.
