Cis and Trans Geometric Isomerism in
Cycloalkanes
Geometric isomerism: A stereoisomer concerning the orientation
differences of atoms or groups around a double
bond or ring
cis isomer - a geometric isomer
where groups are on the same side of a
ring or double bond
trans isomer - a geometric isomer where groups
are on opposite sides of a ring or double bond
