anonymous · Answer

If it has no wedges or dashes, then they are implying there is no stereochemistry.

Okay. I never thought of it looking this way.

So, those circles are determining the stereocenters?

anonymous · Answer

for example, a molecule with two stereogenic centers has 22 or 4 stereoisomers. A molecule with 4 stereogenic centers will have a maximum of 24 or 16 stereoisomers. If a molecule has 9 stereogenic centers, the maximum number of stereoisomers will be 29 or 512 stereoisomers.
