The geometric isomers are said to be the isomers which shows different orientation of groups around a double bond. The geometric isomers are also known as cis-trans isomers.
When two similar or higher priority groups are attached to the carbon on same side, it is said to be cis-isomer.
When two similar or higher priority groups are attached to the carbon on opposite sides, it is said to be trans-isomer.
To exhibit the geometric isomerism, a molecule should have double bonded carbon atoms (
