Question
Chapter 23.4, Problem 1RCF
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of possible geometric isomers of the given complex compound has to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
In general, isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but with different structural forms.
Geometric isomers:
- Geometric isomers are type stereoisomers which have different spatial arrangements with the same structural formula.
- The geometric isomers can also be defined as the compounds that cannot be interconverted without breaking a
chemical bond . - Geometric isomers exist in pairs such as cis- and trans- isomers.
- Cis- isomer is the compound in which same type of atoms or groups lie on the same side.
- Trans- isomer is the compound in which same type of atoms or groups lie on the opposite sides.
