Question
2 -methyl propene has this Lewis structure.Is cis-trans isomerism possible for this molecule? Explain your answer.
Step 1
Cis-trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, occurs when there is restricted rotation around a double bond, and the substituents attached to the double bond are different. In this case, the isomers have the same molecular formula but different spatial Show more…
