eae ae aatten ns, List introduced by Berzclius. Organic compounds having same molecular
mula but differing from each other in some physical or chemical properties or both are known
isomers (Greek : iso-same; meros - part) and the phenomenon is known as isomerism.
merism is exhibited by compounds having directional bonds. .
Jere are two main types of isomerism: structural isomerism and stereo isomerism.

jomerism can be of two types.
structural isomerism (or) constitutional isomerism
stereo isomerism (or) space isomerism
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
jis happens due to the difference in the structure of the compounds. In these compounds, the atoms
‘groups are linked to one another within the molecule, without any reference to the space. Structural
omerism is further classified into different types

This type of isomerism is due to the difference in the nature of the carbon chain i. straight or
chain of carbon atoms. Here, functional group, class of the compound (open (or) cyclic) rp,

The number of possible isomers of a given formula increases rapidly with the increase of the n
of carbon atoms.
Position Isomerism :
It is due to the difference in the positions occupied by the particular atom or group (substituents)
same carbon chain or due to different positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes.
compounds are known as position isomers.Tui eer ee ee
