WHAT IS GEOMETRICAL ISOMERISM? |
Geometrical isomerism results from a restriction in rotation about double bonds ,or about single bonds in cyclic compounds .The restriction of rotation about the carbon-carbon double bond is responsible for the geometrical isomerism in alkenes . Example: Cis and trans isomers present in 1,2 dichloroethene can be represented as ![]() ![]() cis-1,2- dichloroethene trans-1,2-dichloroethene |
