Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a type of stereoisomerism?
  • Step 1: Understand what stereoisomerism means. Stereoisomerism refers to isomers that have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.
  • Step 2: Identify the types of stereoisomerism. Common types include geometric isomerism (cis/trans) and optical isomerism (enantiomers).
  • Step 3: Recognize what structural isomerism is. Structural isomerism involves isomers that have different connectivity of atoms, meaning the atoms are connected in different ways.
  • Step 4: Compare stereoisomerism and structural isomerism. Since structural isomerism is about different connectivity, it does not fall under the category of stereoisomerism.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the question is asking for something that is NOT a type of stereoisomerism, and structural isomerism fits that description.
