Isomerism is a chemical term that describes the accurance of compounds with the same kind and number of atoms in a molecule, but different arrangements of these atoms. This isomers have the same molecular formula, diffent structural formulae and different properties.
Two stereoisomeric molecules have the same constitution, ie the same structure, but differ in the spatial arrangement of individual atoms or molecular groups. For details, see also stereochemistry.
Constitution isomers differ - with the same number and type of atoms - in the order and arrangement of the particles and the bonds. Therefore there are two completely different chemical compounds.
