Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The compounds that would have same physical properties; which are trans isomers and those compounds that do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Structural isomerism occurs when two compounds have same number of atoms but the spatial arrangement of the atoms is different from each other. These isomers have the same formula but their properties are different. In cis-isomers, the substituents of the double bonded carbons are on the same side of the double bond but in trans isomer, they are on opposite side of double bond.
To determine: The compounds that have same physical properties.
(b)
Interpretation: The compounds that would have same physical properties; which are trans isomers and those compounds that do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.
