An asymmetric carbon atom is chiral and gives rise to optical isomers (enantiomers), which exist as non superimposable mirror images and differ in their effect on plane polarised light.Optical isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism and occurs as a result of chirality in molecules, limited to molecules with a single chiral centre. Apply the CIP priority rules to E and Z isomers.Draw the structural formulas of E and Z isomers.Draw the structures of chain, position and functional group isomers.Students should be able to: define the term structural isomer.Cahn–Ingold–Prelog (CIP) priority rules.E–Z isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism and occurs as a result of restricted rotation about the planar carbon–carbon double bond.
