g Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The cis and trans isomers of a particular compound are ___
_________ of each other. Isomers that differ only in the way atoms are oriented in space are ____________ . Achiral compounds that contain tetrahedral stereogenic centers are ____________ . Isomers that differ in the way the atoms are connected to each other are ____________ . Stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other are ____________ . The chemical and physical properties of two ____________ are identical except in their interaction with chiral substances.
Isomers are compounds that posses the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
Constitutional isomers differ only in atom to atom connectivity while stereoisomers differ in arrangement of atoms in space. Stereo isomers differ in physical and chemical properties of the compounds.
When stereo isomers are non-superimpossible mirror images of each other, they are called enantiomers. Enantiomers have the same chemical and physical properties and differ only in their reaction with chiral substances.
Achiral compounds are compounds that do not exhibit chirality. Some achiral compounds contain stereogenic centers and are called meso compounds.
