`Cis` and trans isomers generally

A

contain a triple bond

B

contain double bonded carbon atoms

C

are enantiomers

D

rotate the plane of plane-polarized light

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cis-trans isomerism occurs in any molecule if four approprite ligands are held in one plane by some element of rigidity with in the molcule. The element of rigidity may be a double bond (such as `C =C,C =N`, or `N = N`) or a ring

Which of the following statement is not true regarding the cis and trans isomers of an alkene

Rotation of groups about bond are usually restricted due to large torsional strain and it is due to this reason cis and trans isomers have their independent existence. However certain structural modification in the compound makes the rotation of groups about double possible and hence for such compound, cis and trans isomer exist together in equilibrium. Which of the following compound has such structural feature and its cis and trans isomers exist together in equilibrium?

Which complex ion has cis and trans isomer ?

Consider the following spatial arrangements of the octahedral complex ion [Co(NH_(3))_(4)CI_(2)]^(o+) Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding these structures? (a) I and II are enantiomers (b) II and III are cis and trans isomers respectively (c) III and IV are trans and cis isomers respectively (d) II and IV have identical structures .

The ratio of cis and trans-isomers of the complex [Ma_(2)bcde]^(n+-) is:

Draw geometrical (or cis-and trans-) isomers of the following structures and give their IUPAC names. (i) C_(2)H_(5)C CH_(3)=C CH_(3)C_(2)H_(5) (ii) CH_(3)CH_(2)CH=CHCH_(2)CH_(3) Strategy: An isomer in which two identical atoms (or groups) lie on the same sides of the double bond is called as cis isomer whereas an isomers in which identical atoms ( or groups) lie on the opposite sides of the double bond is called a trans isomer.
