A Brief Guide to Types of Isomerism in Organic ChemistryIn organic chemistry, isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula (i.e. the same number of atoms of each element), but different structural or spatial arrangements of the atoms within th ......
A double bond capable of cis/trans isomerism as well as an “asymmetric” carbon atom are sometimes called “stereogenic elements” since they each give rise to a pair of stereoisomers (EorZ), or (RorS) A molecule that has 2 stereogenic elements can give rise to as many as (2 × 2)...
Complete Isomerism in 6 Hours 1,832 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 ...
Chain isomerism is structural isomerism in which part of a hydrocarbon skeleton (i.e., a string of carbons with hydrogen atoms bonded to it) is in a different location along the rest of the carbon backbone. In organic chemistry, a zigzag line indicates a carbon backbone. Each vertex of...

Cracking in Organic Chemistry During this process, it involves numerous chemical reactions based on free radicals. Some vital reactions that take place are stated below. Initiation:Here a single molecule breaks down into 2 free radicals. Only a smaller portion of freed radicals undergoes initiation,...
Ambidentate ligands, unlike polydentate ligands, can bind to the central atom in two separate ways. Thiocyanate, SCN, is a clear example of this, since it may bind to either the sulfur or nitrogen atom. Linkage isomerism is caused by such compounds. Polyfunctional ligands, especially proteins,...
Addition reaction, any of a class of chemical reactions in which an atom or group of atoms is added to a molecule. Addition reactions are typical of unsaturated organic compounds—i.e., alkenes, which contain a carbon-to-carbon double bond, and alkynes,
