Step 1

- In cis-butene, the two methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. - In trans-butene, the two methyl groups are on opposite sides of the double bond. Conditions for geometrical isomerism: 1) Presence of a double bond: Geometrical isomerism can only Show more…

20. a) Draw geometrical isomers of butene. Also, write two conditions for geometrical isomerism (3.0 marks). b) Explain boiling point and physical states of alkane. (2.0 marks) Draw three isomers for a chloroalkane having 4 carbons and identify them as primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides. Explain the SN2 mechanism for the reaction of one of the isomers with KOH (5.0 marks).
