Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Interpret the reason for possibility of cis-trans in alkanes.

Concept Introduction:

Alkane is a long chain of carbon linked with only single bond between each carbon. Formula of alkane is Cn H2n +2 while n is number of carbon atom.

Cis trans isomerism usually observed in hydrocarbons containing double bonds such as alkene where free rotation is restricted and provides cis and trans isomerism.
