ISOMERISM
It is the phenomenon whereby certain
compounds,with same molecular formula
existing in different forms owing to their
different organizations of atoms
Structural isomerism
Isomers have different
structueres
Stereoisomerism
Isomers have same
structure, but atoms are
oriented differently in
space
Geometric
isomerism
Optical
isomerism

SUMMARY
A coordination compound or complex ion is a molecule that contains a central metal
ion to which are attached one or more legends. In many complexes there is more than
one way in which the ligands may be attached to or arranged around the metal
center. Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but possess
different arrangements of atoms. Two isomers are non-superimposable, which means
that one cannot mentally have the two compounds occur the same space with each
atom in one isomer perfectly coinciding with the same atom in the other isomer.
The scheme and definitions provided below are commonly used to classify coordination
chemistry isomers. A compound can exhibit multiple types of isomerism.
