can you explain the detail of isomerism in organic chemistry?

Dear koka,

The existence of two or more compounds with same molecular formula but different properties (physical, chemical or both) is known as isomerism; and the compounds themselves are called isomers. The term was given by Berzelius. The difference in properties of two isomers is due to the difference in the arrangement of atoms within their molecules.

Types of Isomerism

Isomerism may be classified into two types viz.,

• Structural isomerism

• Stereo isomerism

These are further classified into different classes as follows:
