Best Answer

In stereoisomerism, the atoms making up the isomers are joined up in the same order, but still manage to have a different spatial arrangement. Geometric isomerism is one form of stereoisomerism.For compounds with more than two substituents E-Z notation is used instead of cis and trans.
