Stereoisomers geometric

While structural isomers differ in the number and type of bonds to be found in each isomer, in stereoisomers the only difference is the relative position of the groups with regard to each other. There are three main sub-types of stereoisomer geometric, optical and conformational. 

Stereoisomers are compounds that are made up of the same types and numbers of atoms bonded together in the same sequence but with different spatial arrangements. There are two types of stereoisomers geometric isomers and optical isomers. Coordination compounds may exhibit one or both types of isomerism. Note, however, that many coordination compounds do not have stereoisomers. 

Define the following terms stereoisomers, geometric isomers, optical isomers, plane-polarized light. 

Give examples of structural isomers (ionization, coordination, and linkage) and stereoisomers (geometric and optical).
