Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds showing cis-trans isomerism for the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers shown in part (a) has to be drawn and labeled.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
