Concept explainers
Interpretation:
IUPAC names has to be given for the geometric isomers of the given compound.
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomers are the isomers of same compound which differ in the relative positions the atoms occupy in space. For
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene,
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
If the compound has a unsaturated bond present in it, then the position of the unsaturated bond is mentioned in the IUPAC name itself.
To Give: The IUPAC name for the geometric isomers.
