	Columbia Encyclopedia- isomer - AOL Research & Learn
		Isomers are classified as structural isomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element and molecular weight but different bonding patterns (see chemical bond), or as stereoisomers, which have the same number of atoms of each element, molecular weight, and bonding pattern but in which the atoms have different spatial relationships.
		Tautomers are structural isomers that readily convert from one isomeric form to another and therefore exist in equilibrium.
		Position isomers have similar chemical properties since they differ only in the location of the functional group (e.g., the OH in an alcohol or the double bond in an alkene).

	Geometric isomerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, geometric isomerism or cis-trans isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism and describes the orientation of functional groups within the molecule.
		Differences between isomers generally arise from the differences in the shape of the molecule or the overall dipole moment.
		In the case of geometric isomers that are a consequence of double bonds and in particular when both substituents are the same some general trends usually hold.

	Isomer Summary
		Isomers that rotate the plane of polarization to the right are dextrorotory isomers, those that rotate to the left are laevorotory isomers.
		This group includes chain isomerism whereby hydrocarbon chains have variable amounts of branching; position isomerism which deals with the position of a functional group on a chain; and functional group isomerism in which one functional group is split up into different ones.
		Isomerism was first noticed in 1827, when Friedrich Woehler prepared cyanic acid and noted that although its elemental composition was identical to fulminic acid (prepared by Justus von Liebig the previous year), its properties were quite different.

	Isomers
		The focus in geometric isomerism is on how the molecule extends out from the two carbon atoms that are double-bonded.
		Geometric isomerism and the cis-trans designation can also be applied to compounds with halogen atoms and other side groups attached to the two double-bonded carbon atoms.
		Sometimes geometric isomerism is pointed out and emphasized, but other times is overlooked.

	geometric (cis / trans) isomerism
		Geometric isomerism (also known as cis / trans isomerism) is a form of stereoisomerism.
		Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but have a different arrangement of the atoms in space.
		The difference between the two is that the cis isomer is a polar molecule whereas the trans isomer is non-polar.

		Geometrical isomers can have very different physical properties, such as different melting points, but they tend to have the same chemical properties.
		Optical isomers have the same chemical and physical properties, except that one structure rotates the plane of polarized light to the right and the other rotates it to the left.
		Geometric isomerism occurs when substances have the same molecular formula, but a different arrangement of their atoms in space.

	IB Chemistry higher level: Organic - isomerism
		In this type of isomerism there is a lack of rotation between two asymmetric sides which produces different chemical (and physical) environments.
		In geometrical isomers there are differences in both physical and chemical properties.
		Optical isomers have identical physical properties (except for polarised light) and identical chemical properties (unless reacting with other optical isomers when the orientation of the two molecules could have a bearing on the final result, for example in biological systems.

		Geometric isomerism is also know (usually in america) as cis/trans isomerism.
		This type of isomerism is usually seen in molecules which either are square planner or have a double bond.
		With the cis isomers the two functional groups (which are the same molecule) are next to each other, so to put it simply cis means next to.

		Geometric isomers of alkenes, in which atoms and groups are arranged asymmetrically about a double bond, are also diastereomers.
		Because the R and S isomers interconvert at physiologic pH, both isomers are present in the body.
		For the levo rotatory form, the S isomer, the lev-/levo- prefix is used (e.g., levocarnitine, levamisole, levcromakalim, levdobutamine).

	Isomer
		In chemistry, isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.
		Note that the critical difference is the position of the oxygen atom - it is attached to an end carbon in the one isomer, and to the centre carbon in the other isomer.
		This class includes optical isomerism where different isomers are mirror-images of each other, and geometric isomerism where functional groups at the end of a chain can be twisted in different ways.

		Structural isomers are isomers whose differences can be seen when the formulas are written as above.
		In this course, we will find geometric isomerism whenever we have double bonded carbons, and each of the double bonded carbons has two different kinds of substituents attached to it.
		Geometric isomerism is caused by the rigidity of the carbon-carbon double bond.

		Further, (E) and (Z)-but-2-ene (1 and 2) are "geometric" isomers.
		In the (E) or “trans” isomer, the “methyl groups”, (CH are on opposite sides of C=C, whereas in the (Z) or “cis” isomer, a different geometry pertains in which the “methyl groups” are on the same side of C=C. The final type of isomerism, “optical isomerism” is the most challenging for students.
		The "non-superimposibility" of 9 upon 10 or vice versa, is the one true test of "optical isomerism".

	What is the difference between structural isomerism and geometric isomerism?? Text - Physics Forums Library
		geometric isomerisim is where you have different isomers due to differences arrising from cis and trans arrangements of atoms.
		Taking this a little further, 4 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms could be arranged to form simple Butane but it could also be 2-methylpropane.
		A geometric isomer could be one with a chiral carbon (correct me if I am wrong).

	Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules whose atomic connectivity is the same but whose atomic arrangement in space is different.
		Two compounds that are enantiomers of each other have the same physical properties, except for the direction in which they rotate polarized light and how they interact with different optical isomers of other compounds.
		Conformational isomerism is a form of isomerism that describes the phenomenon of molecules with the same structural formula having different shapes due to rotations about one or more bonds.

		This leads to existence of (achiral) geometric isomers with a different arrangement of substituents around a double bond.
		If the total number of different substituents on a double bond is 2, geometric isomers may be classified as cis- or trans-.
		When the total number of substituents is 3 or 4, the isomers are classified as E or Z by assigning the order of priority of subsituents at each carbon of the double bond and giving an E designation to an alkene with the high priority substituents in a trans- configuration.

		If you are studying Biology, you will meet geometrical isomerism caused by rings when you look at sugars such as glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose.
		But-1-ene does not form geometrical isomers, even though it has a C=C bond, because one of the double-bonded carbon atoms has two identical groups on it (hydrogen atoms in this case).
		You should be prepared to spot geometrical isomers for simple organic compounds like these for your examinations, and you also need to be able to name the them.

	Bilirubin's Chemical Formula
		Radiating an infant with visible light (we call it phototherapy) provides the energy needed to allow the naturally occurring bilirubin isomer formed by the degradation of hemoglobin to change into a different geometric isomer.
		The note should indicate that future versions of The Merck Index should continue to represent bilirubin as the Z,Z- geometric isomer, but show it in the lactam tautomeric form, as it is in the figure accompanying Task 2.
		It also demonstrates the importance of geometric isomerism in determining the properties of biological molecules and requires students to assign priorities using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system and to use these priorities to assign Z-/E- designations to the configuration about double bonds in a complex biochemical system.
