Geometric isomers as line structures
How can you tell whether two geometric isomers are cis or trans based on their line structures alone?

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the two highest priority groups are on the same side, then it's a cis geometric isomer.
If the two highest priority groups are on opposite sides, then it is a trans geometric isomer.
Page 16 in the Green textbook thingy at the bottom.

Re: Geometric isomers as line structures
Same, I am confused on this too. Does CH2 have higher priority over CH3?

Re: Geometric isomers as line structures
yes, but in a line structure, how do you know what is on the same side?
