1
New cards

structural isomer

same molecular formula, different connectivity

2
New cards

stereoisomer

same connectivity, different spatial arrangement

3
New cards

geometric (cis-trans) isomer

stereoisomer that flips over single bonds (cis configuration - same side, trans configuration - opposite side)

4
New cards

optical isomer (enantiomer)

non-superimposable stereoisomer with a chiral region (carbon bonded to 4 different molecules)

d isomer rotates plane polarized light clockwise

L isomer rotates plane polarized light counter clockwise

act differently in chemical environments
