Cis-trans isomerism
In chemistry, cis-trans isomerism or geometric isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism describing the orientation of functional groups within a molecule. Such isomers typically contain double bonds which cannot rotate, but they can also arise from ring structures where the rotation of bonds is greatly restricted.
