Concept introduction:
The molecules with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Answer to Problem 72A
Explanation of Solution
Geometric isomerism, or cis-trans, isomerism is most common in
In cis- isomer, the two identical groups or atoms are close to each other whereas in trans- isomer two identical groups or atoms are farther apart.
The structures for cis - and trans - isomers of is:
