Predicting cis-trans Isomers
For each of the following alkenes, decide whether cis-trans isomers are possible. If so draw structural formulas of the isomers.
a. \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2}
b. \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}
