1

isomer

each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties.

2

enantiomer

mirror image molecules, same molecular formula

3

structural isomer

card image

one of two or more compounds that contain the same number and kinds of atoms but that differ significantly in their geometric arrangement

4

cis-trans isomer

card image

geometric isomers, where the functional group is placed differently with regards to the double bond.

cis isomer has molecules on one side of the double bond. A trans isomer has molecules on the other side of the double bond
