Isomerism Practice Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on isomerism, divided into three sections: structural isomers, geometrical isomerism, and optical isomerism. It includes exercises on drawing and naming various isomers, identifying chiral centers, and explaining concepts related to isomerism. Additionally, there is a bonus challenge involving a compound with geometrical isomerism and identifying different types of isomers.
