Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds showing cis-trans isomerism for the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached
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.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers shown in part (a) has to be drawn and labeled.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes.
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.

- 1. Which of the following can exist in optically active forms. a. Cis -1, 3- Dichlorocyclohexane. b. Trans -1,3- Dichlorocyclohexane. c. Cis -1, 4- Dichlorocyclohexane. d. Trans -1,4- Dichlorocyclohexane. e. Cis -1, 2- Dichlorocyclohexane.arrow_forward1. Describe how geometric isomers are different from structural isomers. 2. Why is it possible for alkenes and cylcoalkanes to have cis-trans isomers but not alkanes? 3. How are cis-trans isomers shown in diagrams?arrow_forwardA. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes, continued. Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H₁4. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
