Isomerism - Coggle Diagram
Isomerism
structural isomerism
positional
functional group
chain
big picture
different structural formula
sterioisomerism
optical (enantiomers)
criteria
chiral carbon centre (4 different groups attached); so non-superimposable (mirror images)
:
E/Z cis-trans (geometric)
criteria
C=C or ring; so no rotation
2 different groups attached to each C
big picture
same connectivity
different arrangement of groups
same chemical formula
