Hydrocarbon compounds with at least one carbon to carbon double bond

Question 11

Isomers

Answer 11

Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas

Question 12

Geometric isomers

Answer 12

Have atoms in the same order but differ in the same order but differ in the orientation around a double bond
