BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC: The compounds which have same molecular formula
but have different properties are known as isomers of each other and this phenomenon is called
isomerism. Because isomers usually have different physical and chemical properties, it is
important to know which isomer we are dealing with if more than one isomer is possible. There
are two main forms of isomerism: structural isomerism and stereoisomerism (spatial isomerism).
TWO TYPES OF ISOMERISM-
1) Structural isomerism – It arises due to the difference in structural formula of the complexes.
2) Stereoisomerism- It arises due to the difference in arrangement around the central atom in
space.

USE OF cis-PLATIN-
 In the 1960's, the drug cis-platin was discovered
 Cis-platin has been extremely effective in treating a number of different types cancer such
as testicular, ovarian, cervical, breast, lung and brain cancer.
