    The document discusses several chemistry concepts: 1) Maleic acid and fumaric acid are stereoisomers that differ in their molecular configuration (cis or trans). 2) Chiral molecules are nonsuperimposable on their mirror image, while achiral molecules are superimposable on their mirror image. 3) The two enantiomers of carvone, (R)-carvone and (S)-carvone, have different odors and receptor binding properties that explain their different uses in flavoring. 4) Ethane can exist in either an eclipsed or staggered conformation, with the staggered being the lower energy, more stable state.
