Structural Isomerism

Molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms.

1 of 5

Stereoisomers

Compounds with the same structural formula but with a different arrangement of the atoms in space.

2 of 5

E/Z Isomerism

A types of stereoisomerism in which different groups attached to each carbon of a C=C double bond may be arranged differently in space because of the restricted rotation of the C=C bond.

3 of 5

Cis- Trans Isomerism

A type of E/Z isomerism in which there is a non-hydrocarbon group. Hydrogen on each C of a double bond: the CIS isomer has the H atoms on each carbon on the same side; TRANS isomer has the H atoms on each carbon on different sides.
