Interpretation:
The spatial arrangement for bonds about a carbon atom which participates in one carbon‑carbon double bond has to be named.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc.
Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and
Considering the geometry of carbon atoms, the carbon atoms that have double bonds will have trigonal planar geometry. The carbon atoms that have only single bonds attached to it will have tetrahedral geometry. The carbon atoms that have a triple bond attached to it will have a linear geometry.
