What is stereoisomerism?
Think about structures that look similar but aren't.
Define geometrical isomerism.
Consider alkenes when thinking about this isomerism.
Which type of isomerism involves compounds that differ in spatial arrangement?
Consider how these compounds could look the same but act differently.
True or False: All stereoisomers are optically active.
Think about molecules without chiral centers.
Given a compound with the formula C4H8, calculate how many geometrical isomers it can have.
Consider where the double bonds are in your drawing.
Assign the correct R or S configuration to a chiral center in a model of a compound.
