isomerism Flashcards
What are the two main types of isomerism
structural isomerism, stereo isomerism
Give the 3 examples of structural isomerism
chain Isomerism , positional isomerism,functional isomerism
What is the def of structural isomerism
molecules that have the same molecular formula , but a different structural formula.
Chain isomerism def
The carbon skeleton is in a different place c-c-c-c or c-c
L
C
postional isomerism
Functional group is a different place on the carbon skeleton
What is the definition of a stereoisomerism
Molecules that have the same molecular +structural formula , but the atoms occupy different relative positions in space.
How we remember the E/Z isomers
Ze are always on the side of the double bond
