Optical isomerism is basically a type of stereoisomerism. Now, before we learn about optical isomerism let us quickly recall what are isomers and stereoisomers. Isomers are those compounds which have the same molecular formula but different bonding arrangement among atoms.
Whereas, in stereoisomer, both molecular formula and bonding arrangement of atoms are the same. However, they have different spatial (three dimensional) arrangement of atoms. It eliminates all different arrangements that are simply due to the molecule spinning in its entirety or revolving around unique bonds.
