Why only alkene shows cis isomerism
  • 2 answers

Ayushi Ayushi 6 years, 11 months ago

Cis-trans isomerism is common in alkenes because there is restricted rotation about double bonds. Explanation: For example, an alkene such as but-2-ene has two different groups on each alkene carbon. It can exist as E − Z isomers that differ in the positions of the substituents on the double-bonded atoms. The double bond prevents rotation about the C=C axis. So the molecule exists as two isomers, with substituents on the same side (cis) or on the opposite side (trans) of the double bond.
