optical isomers
- always look for C=C or anything with double bond, and eliminate them
- when given a long chain, you'll just have to check all the C atoms one by one
- if both sides of the C are not symmetrical, then they are considered different groups ( look at the pic for reference )
* well, if symmetrical then, of course, they are considered the same group.
