Study Notes
Stereoisomerism
- Stereoisomerism is a valid example of isomerism that occurs when two or more molecules have the same molecular formula and bond order, but differ in their 3D spatial arrangement.
Tautomeric Isomerism
- In tautomeric isomerism, the functional group or atom within the molecule changes to form an isomer.
- This type of isomerism involves the migration of a hydrogen atom or a group of atoms from one atom to another within the molecule.
Functional Group Isomerism
- Functional group isomerism occurs when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.
- This type of isomerism is based on the difference in the functional groups present in the molecules.
