what are stereoisomers
they have the structural formula but a different arrangement of atoms
what are the two types of stereoisomerism
E/Z isomerism and optical isomerism
what compounds do E/Z isomerism only occur in
compounds with a double carbon bond
what 2 conditions are needed for it to be E/Z isomerism
a double carbon bond and different groups attatched to each carbon atom of the double bond
what is cis-trans isomerism, what are the conditions for this happening
the name commonly used to describe a special case of E/Z isomerism. the conditions for this isomerism is the same for E/Z isomerism and also one of the attatched groups on each carbon atom of the double bond must be the same
when is something a cis isomer
the compounds on the top of the double bond are the same
when is something a trans isomer
when the compounds are diagonally opposite each other
