\¦ster-ē-ō-¦ī-sə-mər\ [ISV] (1894)n.A kind of isomerism in organic compounds arising from the fact that a carbon atom linked to four different groups can exist in two spatially different forms that, though chemically identical, are not superimposable. A simple example is ...
Isomerism in Organic Compounds 53,444 The different types of structural isomerism are discussed in this subsection. Chain Isomerism It is also known as skeletal isomerism. The components of these isomers display differently branched structures. Commonly, chain isomers differ in the branching of carbo...

What is optical isomerism in organic chemistry?Optical Isomerism:Isomers are compounds having same molecular formula but having different structural formula.This means that isomers differ in their structure. Now, isomers can broadly be divided into Constitutional Isomers and Stereoisomers or optical ...
The term “isomerism” was proposed in 1830 by J. Berzelius. Isomerism is particularly prevalent among organic compounds. The phenomenon of isomerism was successfully explained by the theory of chemical structure developed in the 1860’s by A.M. Butlerov. A distinction is made between ...
A structural isomer, also known as a constitutional isomer, is one in which two or more organic compounds have the same molecular formulas but different structures. The two molecules below have the same chemical formula, but are different molecules because they differ in the location of the methy...
