Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cis-trans isomers occur with
A
single bonds
B
hydroxyl groups
C
double bonds
D
carboxyl groups
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, cis–trans stereoisomers contain double bonds that do not rotate, or they may contain ring structures, where the rotation of bonds is restricted or prevented. Cis and trans isomers occur both in organic molecules and in inorganic coordination complexes.

Detailed explanation-2: -cis/trans isomerism requires a double bond for restricted rotation about the bond, two different groups on each carbon of the double bond and at least one of the groups on each carbon of the double bond are the same.

Detailed explanation-3: -Double bond on side chain is cis as for side chain double bond ketonic group and ring are acting as functional group and they are on same side of double bond which satisfies definition of cis isomers.
