The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds exhibit cis-trans isomerism, we need to understand the fundamental requirements for this type of isomerism. Here's a step-by-step solution to the question: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cis-Trans Isomerism**: - Cis-trans isomerism occurs in compounds with restricted rotation around a double bond or a ring structure. In cis isomers, similar groups are on the same side, while in trans isomers, they are on opposite sides. 2. **Identifying the Requirements**: - For a compound to exhibit cis-trans isomerism, it must have: - A double bond (C=C) or a ring structure. - Two different substituents on each carbon of the double bond (or on the ring). 3. **Analyzing the Given Structures**: - Examine each option provided in the question. - Check if the structures have a double bond or a ring. - Ensure that the substituents on the double-bonded carbons (or ring) are different. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: If this structure has two different groups on each carbon of a double bond, it can exhibit cis-trans isomerism. - **Option 2**: If both substituents on one of the carbons are the same, it cannot exhibit cis-trans isomerism. - **Option 3**: Similar to option 2, if there are identical substituents, it cannot show cis-trans isomerism. - **Option 4**: If this structure has the required different substituents on each carbon of the double bond, it can exhibit cis-trans isomerism. 5. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, the only structure that meets the criteria for cis-trans isomerism is **Option 1** (assuming it has the correct substituents). ### Final Answer: Cis-trans isomerism is shown by **Option 1**. ---
