Question
Is it possible for alkynes to exhibit cis/trans isomerism? Explain your answer.
Expert Solution

arrow_forward
Step 1
Cis-Trans isomerism is possible only in the case of alkenes.
Alkynes can't exhibit cis/trans isomerism.
arrow_forward
Step 2
Cis isomer occurs when the same groups are present adjacent to each other on both sides of the double bond.
And trans-isomer occurs when the same groups are present opposite to each other on both sides of the double bond.
