- Isomers are molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms or groups of atoms (functional groups) involved. while
Stereo isomerism comes from the Greek word,stereos, meaning solid, i.e. objects existing spatially in three dimensions.
As an example, glucose, while maintaining its basic structure, can arrange its atoms or functional groups in a number of different, spatial arrangements, forming a number of isomersof glucose, with different properties.
