Taeko's origin and use are both in the Japanese language. The meaning of the name is 'child of many blessings'. Taeko is not frequently used as a baby girl name.
The most common stereocenters are chiral centers (such as asymmetric carbon atoms) and the double-bonded carbon atoms in cis-trans alkenes. A chiral center consists of an atom holding a set of ligands (atoms or groups of atoms) in a spatial arrangement which is not superposable on its mirror image.ost chiral molecules have a chiral carbon, though the presence of a chiral carbon does not necessarily make a molecule chiral (see meso compound). A chiral carbon is often denoted by C*. If the carbon is chiral, it follows that: 1  the carbon atom is sp 3 -hybridized;
Also note attachments that differ only in conformation do not make a stereocenter. The only carbon of 2-butanol that bears 4 different attachments is the alcohol carbon. Example 2: Identify the stereocenter(s) in this molecule: Answer: Despite the wedges, this molecule has only one stereocenter, the alcohol carbon.ost instances of chiral molecules that you will encounter at this level of organic chemistry owe their chirality to the presence of one or more stereocenters. It is not necessary for a molecule to have a stereocenter to be chiral. Make models of the enantiomers of 2,3-pentadiene (1,3-dimethylallene) shown below.
