Mention any two factors that determines Cis/Trans Isomerization

1. There most not be rotation within the molecule.

2. Two non identical group must be present in the double bonded carbon atom.

Explanation:

This is because cis/ trans isomerism are that exhibit different structural configurations where the atoms are spartially arranged. They are also refered to as geometric isomers. They cannot be interconverted at room temperature because it requires the bonds to be broken and restructured.

Cis shows that the functional groups on present in the same side which trans isomerism show that the functional groups are on opposite sides.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
