Stereochemistry refers to the three dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules, especially those aspects that go beyond the connectivity (which atoms are connected to each other) captured in a Lewis structure. Two molecules that are mirror images of each other (enantiomers) differ in stereochemistry. Another common example are cis and trans double bonds, such as in fatty acids.
