The general molecular formula
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes and cycloalkanes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
If the substituents attached on same sides of cycloalkane, then the compound is cis isomer.
If the substituents attached on opposite sides of cycloalkane, then the compound is trans isomer.

- Explain why alkenes are much more reactive than alkanes towards chlorine (CI2) or bromine (Br2) in the dark at room temperature, and why alkanes do not react with HCI (g) or HBr (g) whereas alkenes do.arrow_forwardAnswer true or false. (a) Alkenes and alkynes are nonpolar molecules. (b) The physical properties of alkenes are similar to those of alkanes of the same carbon skeletons. (c) Alkenes that are liquid at room temperature are insoluble in water and when added to water, will float on water.arrow_forwardWhat is cis-trans isomerism in alkenes? cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene on the same or opposite side of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having different or identical substituents at the both ends of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene in staggered or eclipsed conformations cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves different location of double bond along the carbon chainarrow_forward
