Isomerism

isomerism is defined as:

• where two or more compounds have the same molecular formula and the same structural arrangements or spatial orientations.

• where two or more compounds have different molecular formulas but the same structural arrangements or spatial orientations.

• where two or more compounds have the same molecular formula and the same spatial orientations but different structural arrangements.

• where two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements or spatial orientations.

Isomers that differ in the connectivity of their atoms are known as:

• structural isomers
• optical isomers
• stereoisomers
• geometric isomers

Structural isomerism is also known as:

• meatmerism

• geometric isomerism
• stereoisomerism
• constitutional isomerism

Isomers that have the same connectivity of their atoms but different spatial arrangements are known as:

• structural isomers
• geometric isomers
• stereoisomers
• optical isomers

Answer explanation

also known as spatial isomersim

Isomers that differ in the branching of their carbon chains are called:

• chain isomers

• metamers

• functional group isomers

• aoptical isomers

Isomers that differ in the alkyl chains attached to either side of a functional group are called:

• structural isomers
• geometric isomers
• position isomers

• metamers

Isomers that differ in the arrangement of atoms around a double bond are:

• geometrical isomers

• optical isomers

• metamers

• chain isomers

Isomers that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed are:

• diastereomers
• enantiomers
• cis-trans isomers
• constitutional isomers

Isomerism in which Isomers are formed that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed are:

• Optical isomerism
• Structural isomerism
• Geometric isomerism
• Cis-trans isomerism

diastereomers are defined as:

• stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other
• stereoisomers that have different functional groups
• stereoisomers that have the same molecular formula
• stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other
