Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the compounds that have same molecular formula but different structural formula.
Cis-trans isomerism arises in the compounds when there is a difference in the orientation of the two same groups.
When two same groups are along the same side of the C-C bond it is called as cis isomer, but when the same groups lie opposite to each other along the C-C bond. It is said to be trans isomer.
Example- Cis-1,2-dibromo ethane and trans-1,2, dibromo ethane are cis-trans isomers.

Answer to Problem 12.16P
The alkenes with the molecular formula
Explanation of Solution
The longest chain for the given skeleton has 5 carbons therefore the root name prop- is used here. The alkenes with the molecular formula
In this isomer, it contains 6 carbons and 12 hydrogen atoms, thus the molecular formula is
