Concept:
Isomers:
- These are the compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures or stereochemistries.
- There is a wide range of classification of organic molecules based on their structures.
Geometrical isomerism:
- Geometrical isomerism is shown in molecules that have a carbon-carbon double bond C = C.
- Geometrical isomerism is shown only when each carbon atom of the double bond is attached to two different atoms or groups.
- Compounds of the type abC = Cad, abC = Cab, and abC = Cde will show geometrical isomerism, where a, b,d, e are alkyl groups.
- The cause of geometrical isomerism is restricted rotation about a C = C bond.
Cis and trans isomerism:
- In a geometrical isomer, if the two identical groups are situated on the same side of the C = C then that is called the cis isomer.
- In a geometrical isomer, if the two identical groups are situated on the opposite side of the C = C then that is called the trans isomer.
- Cis trans isomerism is also shown in cyclic compounds in which two of its ring atoms have different groups attached to its exocyclic single bonds.
Additional Information
- The cis and trans isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
- The trans isomers generally gave higher melting points than the cis ones.
- The dipole moment is greater in the case of cis isomers.
