Equivalent

A term used to describe a quantitative relationship in chemistry, representing entities that have the same capacity to react.

Diastereotopic

Diastereotopic refers to hydrogen atoms or groups in a molecule that are not identical and are replaced by another atom or group, leading to diastereomers.

Enantiotopic

Refers to atoms or groups in a molecule that are mirror images of each other but not superimposable, often discussed in the context of chirality in organic chemistry.
