Which of the following isomerism is known as cis-trans isomerism?

Which of the following isomerism is known as cis-trans isomerism? Correct Answer Geometrical

The correct answer is  Option 2) i.e Geometrical.

Concept:

Functional isomers:

• It has the same chemical formula but different functional groups attached to them.
• e.g C3H6O 
• It has two functional isomers i.e

Metamerism:

• It is a form of structural isomerism. 
  • Hence statement (i) is correct.
• This isomerism is due to the presence of different alkyl chains on each side of the functional group.
  • ​Hence statement (i) is correct.
• e.g C5H12O has two metamers i.e 
  • Pentan-2-one (CH3OC3H7)
  • Pentan-3-one (C2H5OC2H5)

Geometrical:

• It is type of stereoisomers.
• Isomers have different spatial arrangements of atoms in three-dimensional space.
• There are two three dimensional structures of but-2-ene.
• These two structures are named cis and trans.

Explanation:

• Cis trans isomers are found in geometrical isomerism, so they are generally known as cis-trans isomerism.
• Cis - When higher priority groups are on the same side then the structure is named as cis.
• Trans - When higher priority groups are on the different side then it is known as trans.
