Interpretation:
The structure of trans -2-pentene and cis -2-pentene needs to be drawn and the reason for the
Concept introduction:
The molecules with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Answer to Problem 29SSC
In trans- isomer, the bulkier groups are present at farther apart from each other resulting in less stearic hindrance and more stability (lower energy).
Explanation of Solution
Geometric isomerism, or cis-trans, isomerism is most common in
In cis- isomer, the two identical groups or atoms are close to each other whereas in trans- isomer two identical groups or atoms are farther apart.
The structures of trans -2-pentene and cis -2-pentene (pent represents 5 carbon chain as a parent chain and position of double bond is at 2) is:
