Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given alkene whether has cis, trans isomerization has to be identified and if present, the structure of trans isomer has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
- • Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the root name.
- • Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
- • Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
- • Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.
Alkene:
The systematic name of alkenes are written by replacing “ane” of
Trans configuration: In trans configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
Cis configuration: In cis configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on same sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.

- Why do alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes have a relatively low boiling point? O They have no large intermolecular forces holding them together. O They have no diple moments or polarity. O They have a lot of electron density in a very small amout of space.arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds is not an alkane?

- What is cis-trans isomerism in alkenes? cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene on the same or opposite side of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having different or identical substituents at the both ends of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene in staggered or eclipsed conformations cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves different location of double bond along the carbon chainarrow_forwardList all the homologous series ( alkane, alkene, alkyne etc ) for each active compoundsarrow_forwardWhat is cis-trans isomerism in alkenes? cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene on the same or opposite side of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having different or identical substituents at the both ends of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene in staggered or eclipsed conformations cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves different location of double bond along the carbon chain How do the properties of cis-trans isomers differ from one another? cis and trans isomers have identical physical properites, whereas their chemical properties differ cis and trans isomers have identical chemical properites, whereas their physical properties differ cis and trans isomers have identical physical and chemical properties cis and trans isomers have distinct physical and chemical propertiesarrow_forward
