Name the phenomenon in which the same number and types of atoms may join together in different molecular arrangements.
A
Isomerism
B
Chemical reaction
C
Chemical bonding
D
Oxidation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stereoisomerism. This type of isomerism arises in compounds having the same chemical formula but different orientations of the atoms belonging to the molecule in three-dimensional space. The compounds that exhibit stereoisomerism are often referred to as stereoisomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Such type of molecules which have the same molecular formula but different molecular structures are known as isomers of each other and this phenomenon is known as isomerism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phenomenon of existence of two or more substances having same molecular formulae but different structural or special arrangements is called Isomerism.

Detailed explanation-4: -The phenomenon of existence of two or more compounds possessing the same molecular formulae but different properties is known as isomerism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different functional groups are called functional isomers.
