Which of the following alkenes is capable of forming cis-trans isomers? A) (CH₃)₂ = CH₂ B) (CH₃)₂ = CHOH C) CH₃CH = CH₂ D) CH₃CH = CF₂ E) CHBr = CHD

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cis-trans isomerism occurs in alkenes when each carbon of the double bond has two different groups attached. Option E, CHBr=CHD, has different groups on each carbon of the double bond, allowing for cis-trans isomerism.
