-
The property of being isomeric. At present there are three kinds of isomerism in chemical compounds: chain-, nucleo-, and stereo- isomerism. In the first two of these the isomerism is caused by varying the position of atoms and groups of atoms in the chain or nucleus of chemical compounds. In stereo-i. the i. is caused by changing the position of an atom or group of atoms around the same carbon atoms. [Gr.]
