    www.britannica.com/science/stereoisomerism

    Stereoisomerism is the existence of isomers that differ in the orientation of their atoms in space. Learn about the two kinds of stereoisomers: enantiomers and diastereomers, and how they are related to conformational isomers, chirality, and optical activity.

  3. Chirality and Stereoisomers - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/.../Chirality/Chirality_and_Stereoisomers

    Learn about the concept of chirality and stereoisomers, which are isomers that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms. Find out how to identify chiral and achiral molecules, and how they affect the properties of organic compounds.

  4. Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism

    Stereoisomerism is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. Learn about the different types of stereoisomers, such as enantiomers, diastereomers, cis-trans and E-Z isomers, and conformers.

  5. Stereoisomers - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/.../Reference/Organic_Chemistry_Glossary/Stereoisomers

    Stereoisomers are compounds with the same molecular formula and the same structural formula but different from each other in configuration. Learn how to identify stereoisomers with examples and see also related terms such as constitutional isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers.

  6. Stereoisomers - Explanation, Types and FAQs - Vedantu

    www.vedantu.com/chemistry/stereoisomers

    Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same parts but differ in spatial orientation. They can be classified into enantiomers and diastereomers based on their mirror images and bond configurations. Learn how to find number of stereoisomers and meso compounds with Vedantu.

  7. Stereoisomers - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/.../Chirality/Stereoisomers

    Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same atoms and bonds, but different arrangements of three-dimensional space. Learn about the types, properties, and nomenclature of stereoisomers with examples and interactive diagrams.

  8. Stereoisomer Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stereoisomer

    A stereoisomer is an isomer in which atoms are linked in the same order but differ in their spatial arrangement. Learn more about the word history, etymology, and examples of stereoisomers from Merriam-Webster dictionary.

  9. Isomerism | Definition, Types, & Examples | Britannica

    www.britannica.com/science/isomerism

    Generally defined, stereoisomers are isomers that have the same composition (that is, the same parts) but that differ in the orientation of those parts in space. There are two kinds of stereoisomers: enantiomers and diastereomers.

  10. Chirality is the asymmetric quality of molecules that prevents them from being superimposed on their mirror images. Learn about stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers and how to distinguish them using physical and chemical methods.

  11. Isomers are molecules with the same formula and composition but different arrangements of atoms in space. Learn about structural isomers (skeletal, positional, functional) and stereoisomers (geometric, optical, conformational) with diagrams and examples.
