The geometrical isomers in which similar groups on double bond carbon atoms are present on opposite sides are called as _.
Correct answer: A. Trans-isomers
- A. Trans-isomers
- B. Alkanes
- C. Cis-isomers
- D. Positional isomers
Explanation
Only in cis-trans isomers, there is a double bond between the carbon atoms having bulky groups on either side. When the two similar groups are opposite to each other, this forms a trans-isomer hence Option A is the correct answer.

About Alkenes
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond with sigma and pi components and restricted rotation. Their reactions include electrophilic addition of hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides and water, with Markovnikov orientation, oxidation, combustion and polymerisation, while their preparation commonly involves elimination from alkyl halides or alcohols.
