Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Constitutional Isomers | Different bond connectivity |
| Isomers | same molecular formula, different structures |
| Conformational Isomers | Differ by rotation around a sigma bond |
| Stereoisomers | Same bond connectivity, different spatial arrangement of atoms |
| Enantiomers | Non-idential mirror images (chiral molecules) |
| Meso | Contains chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry (achiral molecule) |
| Diastereomers | Stereoisomers that are not enantiomers |
| Geometric isomers | Diastereomers that differ in orientation of substituents around a ring or double bond |
| Epimers | Diastereomers that differ in absolute configuration at only one chiral center |
| Anomers | Epimers that form as a result of ring closure |
