Geometric Isomersalkenes that have the same bond connectivity but are different due to restricted rotation of the C=C double bond.
6
Alkene stability
Trans or (E) double bonds are more thermodynamically stable than cis (due to sterics)
More highly substituted double bonds (more Cgroups attached to the alkene carbons) are more stable than less highly substituted.
