Answer 2

Answer:

The interconversion of Cis-trans isomers of alkenes is called a) isomerism

Explanation:

When two or more compounds have the same numbers and the same kinds of atoms or group of atoms as well as the same formula but difference in chemical and physical properties, then the phenomenon is called isomerism, and the compounds are called isomers of each other.

Isomerism that occurs due to change in the spatial arrangement of atoms or groups in the double bonded carbon atoms is known as Geometrical isomerism. These are not mirror images. Rotation of the C=C is also not possible. When different groups, atoms are bonded to the C=C bond in a molecule, more than one spatial arrangement.

For example, an isomer, cis-2-butene where the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond, and the other stereoisomer, in which methyl groups are on the contrary side of the double bond, is trans-2-butene.

So, here both compounds have same formula and same number of atoms but differ only in spatial arrangement. This kind of interconversion is called a)Isomerism.
