What is the family tree isomers?
Structural isomers, Stereoisomers (stereoisomers): conformational isomers, configurational isomers (configurational isomers): geometric isomers, optical isomers
What are structural isomers?
different compounds having same molecular formula (different physical properties)
What are stereoisomers?
same constitution, same formula, different spatial arrangement
what are conformational isomers?
different arrangement of atoms from bond rotation (not bond breaking)
what are the 2 different types of conformations?
staggered eclipsed
what are the properties for staggered conformation?
lower energy C-H bonds further away
what are the bonds called going vertical?
axial
what are the bonds called going outwards (sideways)?
equatorial
