Isomerism

Isomerism that arises out of the difference in spatial arrangement of atoms or groups about the doubly bonded carbon atoms are called?

• Structural Isomerism

• Stereoisomerism

• Geometrical Isomerism

• Optical Isomerism

How to determine that a molecule exhibit cis-trans isomerism?

• Restricted rotation in a carbon-carbon single bond of alkenes

• Each carbon of a site of restricted rotation has 2 different atoms or groups attached to it

• Exist in cyclic compouds only

• Similar chemical properties

Two optical isomers have the same

• Empirical formula

• Structural formula

• Molecular formula

Choose the incorrect option regarding isomerism:

• They differ in both physical and chemical properties

• They have different molecular formula

• There are two types of isomerism : Structural and Stereoisomerism

• Geometric and optical isomerism are two types of stereoisomerism
