Introduction To Stereochemistry
Compounds that are not superimposable with their mirror image are called chiral (in Greek, chiral means "handed") 3-methylhexane is a chiral molecule.
Compounds that are superimposable with their mirror image are called achiral. 2-methylhexane is an achiral molecule.
An atom (usually carbon) with 4 different substituents is called a stereogenic center or stereocenter.

Introduction To Stereochemistry
Structural (constitutional) Isomers - Compounds of the same molecular formula with different connectivity (structure, constitution)
Conformational Isomers - Compounds of the same structure that differ in rotation around one or more single bonds
Configurational Isomers or Stereoisomers - Compounds of the same structure that differ in one or more aspects of stereochemistry (how groups are oriented in space - enantiomers or diastereomers)

Meso Compounds
The best way to identify a meso compound is to prove that it is superimposable with its mirror image. However, a quick test is to see if it contains a plane of symmetry:
Compounds containing a plane of symmetry are achiral!

randomly oriented light

The amount (in degrees) that a chiral material will rotate light is called the optical rotation. Different chiral molecules will have optical rotations that vary in direction and size of the optical rotation. Enantiomers will always have equal optical rotations but in opposite directions.
The optical purity of a substance can be measured by comparing the optical rotation of the sample to the known optical rotation of a single entantiomer of that compound. Optical purity is usually reported in percent entantiomeric excess (%ee).
Enantiomeric excess is the % of the sample that is non-racemic. For example, 80% ee means that there is 90% of one enantiomer and 10% of the other.
%ee =single enantiomer rotation
