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.

- Which of the following cycloalkanes could show geometric isomerism? For each that could, draw structural formulas, and name both the cis- and the trans- isomers. a. c. b. d.arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.
