What is diastereomers?

Diastereomers are only possible if a molecule has at least two asymmetric carbon atoms (a carbon attached to four different groups or atoms) so alkenes don't have these.

Diastereomers are only possible if a molecule has at least two asymmetric carbon atoms (a carbon attached to four different groups or atoms) so alkenes don't have these.


What is true of an asymmetric carbon?

Every asymmetric carbon (also known as chiral carbon) atom has for different groups attached to it. Those molecules have no planes of symmetry or axes of symmetry with respect to chiral carbon atoms.

no


Does carbon dioxide contain a polar or non-polar bond?

The carbon-oxygen bond is a polar bond, but because they are exactly opposed to each other, the molecule is overall non-polar.


What is a stereogenic center?

Carbon atoms that have four nonidentical substituents are referred to as asymmetric carbon atoms. Asymmetric carbon are specific examples of a stereogenic center.In other words a carbon atom that has four different elements or compounds bonded to its a stereogenic center.

"Bipolar" is not a word used to describe molecules. If you're asking what makes a molecule a dipole, then it's an asymmetric separation of charges.
