5 Questions
What is the main difference between structural isomerism and stereoisomerism?
Structural isomerism involves different bond arrangements, while stereoisomerism involves the same bonds but different spatial arrangements.
In isomeric relationships, what can two chemicals be even if they are the same constitutional isomer?
Stereoisomers of each other
What determines the depth of analysis in isomeric relationships?
Field of study or the chemical and physical properties of interest
What does the term 'isomer' refer to?
Molecules with identical molecular formula but distinct arrangements of atoms in space
What is the English word 'isomer' a back-formation from?
