True or False: All cycloalkenes exhibit cis-trans isomerism similar to noncyclic alkenes. Justify your answer.
True. All cycloalkenes exhibit cis-trans isomerism because they have the same properties as noncyclic alkanes.
False. Large-ring cycloalkenes rarely exist as cis-trans isomers because of the increased flexibility of the rings.
False. Small-ring cycloalkenes rarely exist as cis-trans isomers because of ring strain.
False. All cycloalkenes do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism because of the cyclic nature of the molecule.
