Geometric Isomer

Science / Chemistry / Geometric Isomer: Geometric isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and bond connections, but distinctly different shapes. MORE

Stereoisomer

Science / Chemistry / Stereoisomer: Molecules with the same atoms and bond structure, but different three dimensional arrangements of atoms. For example, the CH3 groups in CH3CH=CHCH3 can be placed on the same side of the double bond in MORE
