WHAT DOES STEREOISOMERISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stereoisomerism

Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but that differ only in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. This contrasts with structural isomers, which share the same molecular formula, but the bond connections or their order differ between different atoms/groups—molecules that are stereoisomers of each other are the same structural isomer as each other.

Definition of stereoisomerism in the English dictionary

The definition of stereoisomerism in the dictionary is isomerism caused by differences in the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules.
