Question

Explain geometrical isomerism​

Answer 1

Answer:

Geometric isomers are chemical species with the same type and quantity of atoms as another species, yet having a different geometric structure. Atoms or groups exhibit different spatial arrangements on either side of a chemical bond or ring structure. ... and trans, meaning "on the other side".

★ What is geometrical isomerism?

Geometric isomers are chemical species with the same type and quantity of atoms as another species, yet having a different geometric structure. Atoms or groups exhibit different spatial arrangements on either side of a chemical bond or ring structure. and trans, meaning "on the other side".

★ What is the condition for geometrical isomerism?

Conditions for geometrical isomerism:

There are two necessary conditions for a compound to possess geometrical isomerism:

• It must contain a carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule.
• Two unlike atoms or groups must be linked to each doubly bonded carbon atoms.

★ How do you find geometric isomers?

Number of geometrical isomers = 2n-1 + 2[n+1/2]-1 C6H6 - CH = CH - CH = CH - CH = CH - C6H5 (n =3, odd) Number of geometrical isomers = 22 + 22-1 =22 + 21 = 4 + 2 = 6.

★ How many geometric isomers are there?

Four nonchiral, and one chiral pair, for a total of 6 geometric isomers (though the enantiomers are not geometric isomers of each other, they are with respect to the nonchiral isomers).
