Configurational Isomerism
The
Isomers which has the same molecular and structural formula but different
arrangement of atoms in space (with respect to each other) resulting from
rigidity of structure.
They
are different compounds (i.e. they have the different physical and chemical
properties) and
they are not readily inter convert.
Types
of Configurational Isomerism
a) Geometrical
Isomerism
i.
Geometrical Isomerism in Alkene
ii. Geometrical Isomerism Ring
b) Optical isomerism
I. Geometrical Isomerism in Alkene
The
Isomers which has the same molecular and structural formula but different
arrangement of atoms in space (with respect to each other) this
occurs due
to the restricted
rotation of C=C double
bonds.
This
gives rise most alkenes exist in Isomeric form.
