summary
the content provides an in-depth exploration of the various types of isomers, including constitutional, stereoisomers (conformational and configurational), and geometric isomers, highlighting their definitions, differences, and examples.
- isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
- constitutional isomers differ in how atoms are bonded to each other, affecting their chemical and physical properties.
- stereoisomers have the same element-element bonds but differ in the arrangement of these bonds in space, with subtypes including conformational and configurational isomers.
- geometric isomers, a subtype of configurational isomers, differ in their spatial configuration due to rigid structures like double bonds or rings, impacting their intermolecular forces and properties.
- the e/z naming system is used for complex geometric isomers, determined by the cahn-ingold-prelog priority rules.
