Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main difference between cis and trans isomers?
  • Step 1: Understand that isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different structures.
  • Step 2: Learn that cis and trans are types of geometric isomers that occur due to a double bond.
  • Step 3: In cis isomers, similar or identical groups are on the same side of the double bond.
  • Step 4: In trans isomers, similar or identical groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
  • Step 5: Visualize the double bond as a barrier that prevents rotation, which leads to these different arrangements.
