cis-trans Isomerism
A special type of E/Z isomerism where theres 2 non-Hydrogen and 2 Hydrogen atoms around the C=C double bond. The cis isomer (Z isomer) has H atoms on each carbon on the same side. The trans isomer (E isomer) has H atoms on each carbon on diff. sides.

Covalent Bond
The strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
17 of 20
Dative Covalent Bond
A shard pair of electrons in which the bonded pair has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only. Also known as a coordinate bond
18 of 20
Dipole
A seperation in electrical charge so that one atom of a polar covalent bond, or one end of a polar molecule, has a small positive charge ( ) and the other has a small negative charge ( )
19 of 20
E/Z isomerism
A type of Stereoisomerism in which different groups attach to each Carbon of a C=C double bond may be arranged differently in space because of the restricted rotation of the C=C bond
