Chapter 13, Problem 48P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All possible stereoisomers for 2,4-hexadiene should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of $C_n{H}_{2n}$.

Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensionalorientations in the space.

Cis-trans isomers are fall under geometric isomerism.

Cis isomers- two different groups are on the same side of the double bond.

Trans isomers- two different groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
