Chapter 6, Problem 24QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for two the straight-chain alkenes with the molecular formula

${\text{C}}_5{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}$ has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

It is under the class of geometric isomer.  It exists in alkenes (organic molecules which have double bonds).  When two similar or higher priority groups are attached to the carbon on the same side, it is termed as Cis isomer and when it is attached to the opposite side it is called as Trans isomer.

Cis isomers are termed as z-isomer and Trans isomers are termed as E-isomer.
