Answer
Structural isomers differ in their bond linkage and geometric, or cis-trans isomers differ in their geometry. Optical isomers differ in their interaction with plane-polarized light.
Work Step by Step
Though structural isomers have the same atoms, the atoms and bonds are arranged differently between isomers. Cis-trans isomers are prevalent in molecules' double bonds and have different configurations that affect a range of properties including polarity and the melting point.
