ISOMERISM MENU

Structural isomerism . . .

Explains what structural isomerism is, together with examples of the various ways that these isomers can arise.

Geometric isomerism . . .

Explains how geometric (cis/trans) isomerism arises in simple organic compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds. Includes a link to a further page explaining the E-Z system for naming geometric isomers.

Optical isomerism . . .

Explains how to recognise optical isomerism in simple cases, and how to draw the isomers.
