| Stereoisomerism |
|
| When organic compounds having same molecular and structural formulae have different arrangements in the three dimensional space, they are said to exhibit stereoisomerism. |
| |
| Stereoisomerism is of two types: |
| |
| a) Geometric isomerism |
| |
| b) Optical isomerism. |
| |
| We will see these two types of stereoisomerism in detail in the subsequent topics. |
