It only happens around a c=c as there is no free rotation about the double bond. You need to have 2 of the same atoms/molecules on either side of that double bond. When they are both at the top or both at the bottom it is cis. When they are diagonally accross from each other it is trans. Hope this helps.... sorry if it doesnt make sense it is quite hard to discribe in words
