  "term": "Cis-trans isomers",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Stereoisomers that differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms or groups around a rigid structural element, such as a double bond or a ring, but do not differ in connectivity. These isomers are a type of diastereomer and exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties. They are also known as geometric isomers.",
