(b)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of trans-difluoroethene
Concept introduction:
Isomers are the compounds which have the same molecular formula but a different structural arrangement of atoms. Alkenes have a double bond between carbon atoms. Due to the presence of a double bond, the rotation about adjacent carbon-carbon atoms is highly restricted. Hence, alkenes can exist in two forms which have the same molecular formula but a different strucutral arrangement of atoms around the double bond. This isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism which is known as geometric isomerism or cis-trans isomerism. In alkenes, when the two similar groups are present on the same side of the double bond is known as cis-isomer and when the two same groups are on the opposite side of the double bond then is known trans-isomer.
In the IUPAC name of an alkene, the Greek prefix represents the number of the substituent, the term before the Greek prefix represents the isomer of the alkene. The suffix for alkene is ‘ene’.
