Question

Do stereoisomers have the same structural formula?

Answer 1

Stereoisomers:

1. Stereoisomers are isomers of a compound that have the same molecular and structural formula but have different arrangement of space in $3$ dimensional arrangement
2. Hence two stereoisomers have exactly same properties and reactivity when placed in non-chiral environment. However in chiral environment they have different reactivity and selectivity.

The above points clearly explains the similarity of structural formula in stereoisomers.
