ISOMERISM - Coggle Diagram
ISOMERISM
• Same molecular formula
• Different structural formula
Structural Isomerism
Chain Isomerism
Due to possibility of branches in carbon chain
Functional Group Isomerism
Difference in functional group
Metamerism
Unequal distribution of carbon atoms around functional group
Position Isomerism
Difference in position of f.g. around carbon skeleton
Tautomerism
Compounds which differ in position of electron and proton
Stereoisomerism
Caused by different orientation of atoms in space
Geometrical Isomerism
There are different atoms on left and right side of the bond
Occurs due to restricted rotation of bonds
Optical Isomersim
Two forms of isomer rotate the plane of polarized light in opposite direction
