Geometric isomers are compounds with the same atomic and bond composition but different spatial arrangements of the component atoms.

Geometric isomers

They are chemical compounds with the same chemical formula, the same atom/number of atoms with their respective bonds, but different arrangements of the atoms in space.

In other words, they are compounds with the same formula but different geometry of atoms.

When identical ligands are placed in the adjacent positions in geometric isomers, cis is used. When the ligands are in opposite positions, trans is used.
