Question

Hexa-2,3,4- triene shows which isomerism
​

Answer 1

It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical, used primarily in the production of cellulose acetate for photographic film, polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, and synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents.

Answer 2

Hexa-2,3,4-triene shows Geometrical isomerism.

• Geometrical isomerism has two types of isomers cis and trans.
• When similar groups are present on same side of the double bond then they are called cis isomers.
• When similar groups present on opposite sides of the double bond then they are called trans isomers.
• We can identify geometrical isomers through restricted rotation method.
• Stilbene is the example of geometrical isomerism due to presence of carbon-carbon double bond.
