A carbon-carbon double bond in a molecule may give rise to the existence of cis and trans isomers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon-carbon double bond restricts rotation around the bond, allowing for the possibility of different spatial arrangements of the substituents. If the two substituents are on the same side of the double bond, it is called the cis isomer. If they are on opposite sides, it is called the trans isomer.
