Polymer Structures - Molecular Configurations - Stereoisomerism

4 important questions on Polymer Structures - Molecular Configurations - Stereoisomerism

How do you convert one stereoisomer into another?

By severing the bonds and then reforming them into the new configurations.

Name the three types of configurations of stereoisomerism.

  1. Isotactic configuration
  2. Syndiotactic configuration
  3. Atactic configuration
