Optical Isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism in which the isomer molecules have the tendency to rotate plan of polarized light and also which execute chiral behaviour.
Difference:-
Geometric isomers have the same structural formulas but differ in the arrangement of groups at a single atom, at double bonds, or in rings whereas optical isomers differ in only one characteristic--their interaction with plane polarized light.

Explanation:
organic compounds with same molecular formula but different chemical and physical properties are called isomers the phenomena is called ISO marriage the difference in properties of this compound is due to the difference in the inner structure this compound have identical molecular formula but different structures hence they are called structural isomerism and phenomena is called structural isomerism structural isomerism are possible for butane similarly in some compounds carbon atoms are arranged in the form of rain for example cyclohexene and benzene
