How will you explain that there exists two varieties of 1, 2,-dichloroethene while there is only one type of 1, 2-dichloroethane?
Draw cis and trans isomers of the following compounds. Also, write their IUPAC names:
(i) CHCl = CHCl
(ii) C2H5CCH3 = CCH3C2H5
Which of the following compounds will show cis-trans isomerism?
(i)(CH3)2C = CH-C2H5
(ii) CH2 = CBr2
(iii) C2H5CH = CH-CH2
(iv) CH3CH = CClCH3
Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.p. and why?
Hex-2-ene has the following cis and trans structures:
cis isomer possesses higher boiling point due to the greater magnitude of dipole-dipole interactions as compared to the trans isomer.
