Two or more compounds with the same molecular formula and the same atom-to-atom arrangement, but with different arrangement of atoms in space. stereoisomeric (adjective)
Isomers that differ only in the way that atoms are oriented in space; consist of geometrical and optical isomers.
Isomers having the same molecular structure, but differing in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. There are two main types. Optical isomers are asymmetric molecules – usually having an asymmetric carbon atom with four different groups bonded to it – which hence have two mirror-imag...
