Stereoisomerism

Remember that molecular isomers are species with the same molecular formula but a different structural formula. However, even with the same structural formula, isomers can exist due to the rotation of atoms in space. Thus, stereoisomers are two species with the same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in space. These can be divided into two types:

Conformational isomers
Configurational isomers
