Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main reason for the existence of geometric isomers?
  • Step 1: Understand that molecules can have different shapes.
  • Step 2: Learn that some bonds between atoms can rotate freely, while others cannot.
  • Step 3: Identify that double bonds between atoms create a restriction in rotation.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this restriction leads to different arrangements of atoms around the double bond.
  • Step 5: Conclude that these different arrangements are called geometric isomers.
