Isomerism Flashcards
Difference is due to arrangement of atoms without reference to space
Structural/constitutional isomerism
Type of structural isomerism in which molecular formula is the same but the arrangement of the carbon chain is different.
Chain isomerism
Type of structural isomerism that has different position of functional group
Position isomerism
Type of structural isomerism wherein compounds that have the same chemical formula but different functional groups attached to them
Functional group isomerism
form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
Stereoisomerism
