Final Question on Isomers

Postby Spencer T » Sun Dec 10, 2023 8:31 pm

When taking the final exam I did not have a strong understanding of isomers. What determines whether an isomer is cis or trans?
Thanks for the help.

The orientation of the molecule determines if an isomer is cis or trans. If the parts of the molecule that are repeated on each side are on the same side, it is cis. If they are on opposite sides it is trans.
