Structural isomerism
Explains what structural isomerism is, together with examples of the various ways that these isomers can arise.
Geometric isomerism
Explains how geometric (cis/trans) isomerism arises in simple organic compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds.
The E-Z naming syste,
Explains the E-Z system for naming geometric isomers.
Optical isomerism
Explains how to recognise optical isomerism in simple cases, and how to draw the isomers.
