Noun

IPA: /ˌstɛɹɪəʊaɪˈsɒməɹɪzəm/ Forms: stereoisomerisms [plural]
Etymology: From stereo- + isomerism. Etymology templates: {{prefix|en|stereo|isomerism}} stereo- + isomerism Head templates: {{en-noun|~}} stereoisomerism (countable and uncountable, plural stereoisomerisms)
  1. (chemistry) A form of isomerism in which atoms are arranged differently about a chiral centre (or centre of asymmetry). They exhibit optical activity, and in a molecule with a single chiral centre the two isomers (enantiomers) are mirror images of each other whereas in a molecule with multiple chiral centres the isomers (diastereoisomers) are not normally mirror images.
