Think of the possible unique locations of the bromines on the five-carbon ring. The bromines can be on adjacent carbons, or they can have one carbon in between. There are two structural isomers: 1,2-dibromocyclopentane and 1,3-dibromocyclopentane.

- 1 cis with two Brs on one corner
- 2 cis with two Brs - one on each corner (mirror image is what makes it count as 2)
- 2 trans with two Brs on oppositive corners (mirror image makes it count as 2)

∙ 11y agoJust two. Cis- and trans- Because the molecule is symmetrical except for the double bond, placing the double bond between the 2 and 3 carbons returns the same molecule. This means the only difference among isomers is the orientation about the double bond.

Three types of isomers?
The three main types of isomers are structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.
Geometric isomers are molecules that .?
Geometric isomers are molecules that contain the same number and types of atoms, and bonds. They have different arrangements of the atoms.

Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?
Nope. They are structural isomers.
What are the various subgroups of structural isomers?
Structural Isomers- differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms Geometric Isomers- differ in spatial arrangement around double bonds Enantiomers- mirror images of each other
Why Can't hydrocarbons with single bonds form geometric isomers?
because in order for it to be geometric it has to be double bond. geometric only works with alkenes
Does geometric isomers have variations in arrangement around a double bond?
Yes.
What structural feature is common to all geometric isomers?
a double bond
What is the another name of geometric isomers?
Geometric isomerism also known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism
Which structural feature is common to all geometric isomers?
A double bond. 7°
Alkanes do not have geometric isomers because the carbon atoms in their carbon-carbon bonds are?
free rotate
