Concept explainers

Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atom…

Chapter 11, Problem 11.8QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation about the Geometric isomerism of alkanes and alkynes

Concept introduction:

Geometric isomerism (also known as E-Z isomerism or cis-trans isomerism): same molecular formula but different arrangement in the space. These isomers happen where you have restricted rotation in a molecule (double bond in the molecule).
