Why are there three isomers of dibenzalacetone?

those are defined by position of double bonds, the possible one,s are cis-cis,cis-trans,trans-trans.


How stable are cis-trans isomerisms?

The cis-trans isomerism tend to be very stable. Typically, trans isomers are more stable however, an exception lies in cis-trans isomers which makes them more stable than trans isomers.


Why are cis and trans isomers not possible for ClCH2CH2Cl?

This is a single bonded compound and cis-trans isomerism is only possible when fre rotation about a bond is restricted or a double bond or cycle is essential for existence of cis-trans isomers.

trans isomers


What does a cis-isomer look like?

cis/trans isomerism (also known as geometric isomerism) is a form of stereo isomerism describing the relative orientation of functional groups within a molecule. The terms cis and trans are from Latin, in which cis means "on the same side" and trans means "on the other side" or "across". Usually, for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers. This is typically due to the increased unfavorable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer. Therefore, trans isomers have a less exothermic heat of combustion, indicating higher thermochemical stability.trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexanecis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane


Can 2-methylbutane exhibit cis or trans isomerism?

1 butene doesn't have cis and trans isomers where Cis/Trans Isomerism occurs when there are two different groups on each side of the C=C bond. 1 butene doesn't have this.


What type of isomers is shown by maleic acid and fumaric acid?

Maleic acid and fumaric acid are cis-trans isomers of each other.


Is cis-trans isomerism included in geometrical isomerism?

The geometrical isomerism is mainly Cis-trans isomerism but in some cases we use another term Z and E isomers, they are almost same.
