Interpretation:
The structures for cis -3-hexene and trans -3-hexene should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The molecule with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms in the molecule are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Answer to Problem 27SSC
The structures for cis -3-hexene and trans -3-hexene is:
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 -3-hexene and trans -3-hexene (hex represents the parent chain contains six carbon atoms and 3 represents the position of double bond in the chain) is:
