Constitutional isomers
same molec formula but their atoms are connected differently.
stereoisomers
differ in the way their atoms are separated in space
cis-trans isomers result from
restricted rotation caused by having a DB or a cyclic molecule
They have different BP and dipole moments…
cis isomer
compound with the Hydrogens on the same side of the C=C
trains isomer
isomer with the Hydrogens on the opposite side of the C=C
no cis or trans when
two of the same substituents are attached to the sp2 Carbon
Conformations
different arrangements of the same compound, cannot be separated
Configurations
can be separated, essentially different compounds
