Question

what is stereoisomerism?Which type of stereo isomerism is shown by 1-2 dichloro Ethene? draw the structure of two isomerism and name them

Answer 1

The stereoisomerism is when isomerism is caused by the different arrangements of atoms or groups in space,the phenomenon is called stereoisomerism.The stereoisomers have the same structural formulas but differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.

•Geometrical Isomerism is shown by 1-2 dichloro Ethane.

• Ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether shows structural Isomerism

• Cis -2- butene and trans-2-butene shows the geometrical Isomerism (stereo isomerism)
