You can rotate the left and the right molecule by dragging them. Try rotating the right molecule so that is looks exactly the same as the left molecule. Or imagine a mirror between the two molecules, and rotate them that the same atoms are on top and on the bottom, but left and right is reversed. | You can rotate the left and the right molecule by dragging them.

Clicking on the buttons below loads other pairs of molecules. Each pair somehow is different in stereochemistry. For each pair, try to write a Lewis structure and a skeletal structure, and describe how they differ. | |||
