Types of Isomerism | Chemical Compounds | Chemistry

This article throws light upon the two main types of isomerism in molecules. The types are: 1. Structural Isomerism 2. Stereo Isomerism.   Type # 1. Structural Isomerism: When the isomers differ only in the arrangement of atoms or groups within the molecule, without any reference to space, these are known as structural isomers and the phenomenon as structural isomerism. Thus, [...]

Top 5 Classifications of Isomerism | Carbohydrates

The following points highlight the top five classifications of isomerism. The classifications are: 1. D and L 2. α- and β-anomers 3. Epimers 4. Pyranose and Furanose Ring Structures 5. Aldose-ketose Isomerism. Isomerism: Classification # 1. D and L: The designation of an isomer as D- or L- form is determined by its spatial configuration to the parent compound. When [...]
