Geometric Isomerism
Geometric isomers are two or more compoundswith the same number and types of atoms, and bonds, but which have different geometries for the atoms.
For instance, fumaric acid and maleic acid have the same molecular formula and weight, yet they are not the same molecule. As early as the 1920's researchers sought to understand why fumaric acid killed bacteria, but was not harmful to humans, while maleic acid showed no germicidal activity, but was toxic to humans.
Fumaric acid and maleic acid are the compounds
