Chapter 12, Problem 12.73E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why propene does not exhibit geometric isomerism is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Those compounds which have same molecular formula but have different structural formula are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called as isomerism. Cis–trans isomers are geometrical isomers. Cis-isomer contains two groups on the same side of the ring. Trans-isomer contains two groups on the opposite side of the ring.
