structural isomer
a molecule that has the same molecular formula but a different bonding arrangement than another molecule
cyclic compounds
organic compounds that form rings instead of straight lines
cis-trans isomers
have the same molecular formula but a different spatial orientation
cis-isomer
if the atoms bonded to the double bond are on the same side
trans-isomer
if the atoms bonded to the double bond are on different sides
requirements for a cis-trans isomer
double bond, each carbon of the double bond to have different groups attatched
reason for double bond
a double bond means that there is no free rotation meaning that particles that are attatched to it can’t rotate and change position
