please help seriously.
according to the definition of cis trans isomerism, such compounds which possess the same structural formula but differ with respect to the position of the "identical groups" in space are called his trans isomers. then how does 1-bromo-2-chloropropene exhibit cistrans isomerism? it doesn't have the identical groups.

There are many organic compounds which have different chemical properties but same molecular formula as they have same different structural formula. For example, the molecular formula of ethanol (C2H5OH) and methoxymethane (CH3OCH3) is same that is C2H6O. Both compounds show different chemical and physical properties due to different structural formula with same molecular formula.
Such type of compounds is referred as isomers and the phenomenon is called as isomerism. Thus, the isomerism can be defined as phenomenon by virtue of which two or more compounds having same molecular formula can be assigned different molecular structures and isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula, but different arrangements of atoms.
