Consider the hydrocarbon below. a skeletal model has line segments that slant down, run flat in a double bond, slant up, and run flat. which of these is a trans- isomer of the above hydrocarbon?
The correct answer would be the structure attached of the form slant up, then run flat in a double bond, slant up and run flat.
Cis-Trans isomerism(GEOMETRIC ISOMERS)
Cis-trans isomers are compounds that, as a result of the existence of a hard-structure in their molecule, have distinct configurations (elements that are constantly in distinct places in space).
Cis-trans isomerism may be seen in alkenes and cyclic molecules.
trans-isomers: thetwo hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides.
cis-isomers: the two hydrogen atoms are on the same side, as are the two carbon groups.
