Electrovalent compounds or ionic compounds do not show stereoisomerism. The reason is:
A
Presence of ions
B
Strong electro static force of attraction
C
Brittleness
D
Non-directional nature of ionic bond
Explanation
Ionic bonds are non-directional, therefore ionic compounds do not exhibit stereoisomerism.
