Define Ionic vs Covalent bond?
Ionic bonds form when electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, creating oppositely charged ions that attract each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve stability

Trans vs Cis Isomers
Cis and trans are prefixes used in chemistry to describe the spatial arrangement of atoms within molecules
- Cis: Functional groups or similar atoms are located on the same side of a molecular plane or double bond.
- Trans: (Latin for "across" or "the other side"): Identical or similar functional groups are positioned on opposite sides
