Study Notes
Configurational Isomerism
- Configurational isomerism is based on the arrangement of atoms in space, resulting in non-superimposable mirror images.
- Configurational isomers can be separated because they have different physical and chemical properties, despite having the same molecular formula and bond order.
Configuration Change
- When the configuration of a molecule changes, the molecule becomes a stereoisomer, which is a type of isomer that differs in its three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in space.
