Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Geometric isomers possible for the given structural formulas has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomers are the isomers of same compound which differ in the relative positions the atoms occupy in space. For
To draw: cis-trans isomer for the given structural formulas.
(b)
Interpretation:
Geometric isomers possible for the given structural formulas has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomers are the isomers of same compound which differ in the relative positions the atoms occupy in space. For alkene geometric isomers are possible if the carbon atoms in the end of the double bond are not bonded to same groups or atoms. Usually trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer as the steric hindrance will be very less.
To draw: cis-trans isomer for the given structural formulas.
