Chloroethylene (C₂H₃Cl), commonly known as vinyl chloride, has only one isomeric form. Its structure is CH₂ = CHCl. For isomerism to occur, the compound must allow either different structural arrangements or geometrical (cis–trans) forms. In this case, no other structural arrangement is possible with two carbon atoms and one chlorine atom. Geometrical isomerism is also not possible because one carbon of the double bond has two identical hydrogen atoms. Therefore, chloroethylene exists in only one isomeric form.
