Explanation of Solution

Geometric isomerism, or cis-trans, isomerism is most common in alkenes. The two forms exist due to no free rotation about carbon-carbon double bond. It exists only when the double bonded carbon atoms are joined to two different groups or atoms.

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.
