    Chemical Ideas 3.5: Geometric Isomerism (Different Geometries)

    Uploaded by

    OCRChemistrySalters
    This document discusses geometric isomerism and provides examples of cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene. It explains that geometric isomers have the same molecular formula but different geometries, as substituents can be on the same side or opposite sides of a double bond. This leads to cis and trans isomers that have different chemical properties and cannot be interconverted without breaking bonds.

    trans but-2-ene
    Cis but-2-ene
    Two isomers are not interchangeable.
    • Carbon 2 & 3 joined by
    double bond.
    • No free rotation.
    • Bonds would have to be
    broken and reformed.
    • +270 kJ mol-1 energy needed
    to break this bond.
    • Insufficient energy available
    at room temperature.
    cis...
    • Different names
    needed to identify
    isomers.
    • Substituent groups
    on the same side of
    Cis but-2-ene double bond.
    • Cis but-2-ene
    ...and trans.
    • “trans” means other
    side or cross over
    e.g. trans Atlantic,
    transplant, trans…..!
    • Substituents on
    trans but-2-ene
    opposite sides of
    double bond.
    Different compounds- different
    properties.
    Time to think and apply what we have
    learned!
    • How are the structures of
    nerol and geraniol related?
    • How many moles of H2
    would be needed to saturate
    one mole of geraniol?
    • How are nerol and geraniol
    related to citronellol?
    • How are the structures of
    nerol and geraniol related to
    linalool?
