Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas for trans-3-heptene and cis-3-heptene should be written.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms such as alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which one or more carbon-carbon double and carbon-carbon triple bond is present such as alkenes and alkynes.

The compounds having similar chemical formula but different structures are known as isomers.

Cis-Trans isomers are known as geometric isomers. In Cis isomers, functional groups are present on same side of the carbon chain whereas in Tans isomers, functional groups are present on different or opposite side of the chain.
