S3.2 (AHL) Functional groups - stereoisomerism
This page covers stereoisomers where the atoms in a molecule have the same identities, connectivities and bond multiplicities but differ in their spatial arrangement. It covers the features that give rise to cis/trans isomerism in non-cyclic alkenes and C3 and C4 cycloalkanes. It also covers optical isomerism resulting from chiral carbon atoms and how a pair of non-superimposable enantiomers can be recognized and...
