    Study Notes

    Stereochemistry

    • Stereochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules.

    Isomerism

    • Isomerism is the phenomenon where two or more molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in their structural arrangement.

    Configurational Isomers

    • Configurational isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and bond sequence, but differ in their three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in space.

    Constitutional Isomerism

    • Constitutional isomerism is based on the differences in the order in which the atoms are bonded.
    • It refers to the phenomenon where molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in their bond sequence.

    Stereoisomers

    • Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and bond sequence, but differ in their three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in space.
    • Stereoisomers are distinguished from one another by their differing arrangements of atoms in space, which cannot be superimposed on each other.

    Constitutional Isomerism vs Stereoisomerism

    • Constitutional isomerism refers to the difference in the bond sequence, whereas stereoisomerism refers to the difference in the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in space.
