Why geometric isomerism is not possible in alkynes
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.
