A chiral center is a type of stereocenter.
chiral center는 stereocenter의 한 종류(분류, 유형)이다.
Q. Is a stereogenic center the same as a chiral?
A. A stereocenter (stereogenic center) is a point in a molecule, whereas chiral is a term used to describe a whole molecule. A molecule can be chiral if it contains one or more stereocenters.
Q. What is considered a stereocenter?
A. A stereocenter (stereogenic center) is an atom that contains at least three different substituents, which produces a stereoisomer when two substituents are interchanged. Stereocenters include asymmetric carbons and cis-trans isomers.
Q. Is a stereocenter the same as a chiral center?
A. A chiral center is a type of stereocenter (stereogenic center). A stereocenter contains three or more substituents, while a chiral center has four substituents.

▶ stereocenter vs. chiral center
> A stereocenter (also known as stereogenic center) is an atom bonded to three or more different substituents, where switching any two substituents produces a stereoisomer.
> A chiral center (also known as chirality center) is a type of stereocenter in which the substituents are arranged in a way that is not superimposable on its mirror image.
> While stereocenters may contain three or more substituents,
chiral centers always have four substituents.
> Stereocenters may contain double bonds,
while chiral centers contain all single bonds.
What is the difference between a stereogenic center and a chiral center?
| Stereogenic Center | Chiral Center | |
| Main Difference |
Stereo center is a point in a molecule which can give rise to stereoisomers. | Chiral center is a carbon atom to which four different atoms or groups of atoms are bonded. |
| Nature | A stereocenter is a point in a molecule, not necessarily an atom. | A chiral center is a carbon atom. |
| Hybridization | If stereocenter is a carbon atom, it can be either sp^2 hybridized or sp^3 hybridized. | Chiral centers are essentially sp^3 hybridized. |
| Groups of Atoms |
Stereocenters can have either three or four groups attached to it. | Chiral centers essentially have four groups attached to it. |
| Chemical Bonds |
Stereocenter can have either single bonds or double bonds around it. | Chiral centers have only single bonds around it. |
