Chapter 20.3, Problem 1RC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of possible geometric isomers of the given complex compound has to be found.

Concept Introduction:

Isomers:

In general, isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but with different structural forms.

Geometric isomers:

  • Geometric isomers are type stereoisomers which have different spatial arrangements with the same structural formula.
  • The geometric isomers can also be defined as the compounds that cannot be interconverted without breaking a chemical bond.
  • Geometric isomers exist in pairs such as cis- and trans- isomers.
  • Cis- isomer is the compound in which same type of atoms or groups lie on the same side.
  • Trans- isomer is the compound in which same type of atoms or groups lie on the opposite sides.
