Great question! You are correct, you can't use the terms "cis" and "trans" because there aren't two identical things. But there are still two isomers, and we can draw them both. They would need to be identified as "E" and "Z" because they do not qualify for the "cis" / "trans" notation.
hello prof. Hulet, I really appreciate your videos. @7:54 how can you write trans and cis structures even though you can't find two identical things?
