Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among the situations given, the situation in which cis‑trans isomerism will occur has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
A cis isomer is the one in which the same groups are present on same side of both the carbon atoms present in the double bond.
A trans isomer is the one in which the same groups are present on opposite side of both the carbon atoms present in the double bond.
Cis‑trans isomerism is not possible if any one of the carbon atom bonded to the double bond bears two identical groups.
Cis‑trans isomers are not constitutional isomers but they are stereoisomers.
