Title
Rotation about the Pi Bond
Caption
Rotation about the carbon-carbon double bond destroys the pi bond.
Notes
Since double bonds do not rotate, the cis and trans isomers cannot interconvert (except under extreme conditions).
Keywords
rotation, cis, trans, carbon-carbon, interconvert

Title
Cis and Trans 2-Butene Structures
Caption
Since there is no rotation around a double bond, an alkene can exist in two distinct forms, cis and trans.
Notes
The isomer with hydrogens on the same side of the double bond is called the cis isomer (cis is Latin for "on this side"), and the isomer with the hydrogens on opposite sides of the double bond is called the trans isomer (trans is Latin for "across").
Keywords
cis, trans, isomer, rotation

Alkyl Halide
Caption
A step-by-step process by which reactants are changed to products is called the mechanism of the reaction.
Notes
The pi bond in the alkene is most electron rich and will act as the nucleophile which will attack the electron poor hydrogen on the hydrogen bromide, the electrophile.

Title
2-butene/HBr Reaction
Caption
The mechanism can be seen more clearly if "curved arrows" are used to show the movement of the electrons.
Notes
The curved arrows are drawn to show how the electrons move as new covalent bonds re formed and existing covalent bonds are broken. The arrows are drawn from an electron-rich center to an electron-deficient center.
