Q
Q: What is the main difference between cis and trans isomers?
Solution:
Cis and trans isomers differ in the orientation of substituents around a double bond.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
