STEREOCHEMISTRY Stereochemistry is the study of structure in three dimensions. Here, we shall
study the phenomenon of isomerism. ISOMERISM
Isomerism is the existence of two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural.
E.g, butane has two Isomers 1. CH3CH2CH2CH3 n-butane
2. CH3CHCH3
CH3
2-methylpropane

ISOMERISM• NOTE: 1. The lsommers with the same homologous series has the same chemical properties but different physical
properties.E.g. n-butane has boiling point of 12oc while 2-Methylpropane boiling point of 0.6oc2. As the number of carbon atom in a molecule increases, the number of isomers also increases. E.g pentane
has three possible isomers, Hexane has five etc
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2CHCH3 n-pentane CH3 2-Methylbutane CH3
CH3-C-CH3 CH3 2,2-dimethylpropane

ISOMERISM
However, isomerism occurs in other homologous series where isomers with the sane molecular formula belonging to different
homologous series to have differences physical and chemical properties. E.g Ethanol and Methyloxymethane
ASSIGNMENT Draw all the possible isomers of 1. Hexane 2. Hexene 3. Hexyne
