In contrast to C=C double bonds, rotation around C-C single bonds is extremely fast. The energy barrier to rotation is small (this rotation does not break a bond). The cis and trans isomers of Alkenes Q, R, S and T are shown below. > Rank alkenes Q-T based on the magnitude of the energy barrier impeding rotation around the C%3DC double bond. LARGEST rotation barrier 1 SMALLEST barrier = 4 Alkene Q isomers Alkene R isomers Alkene S isomers Alkene T isomers Barrier Rank Explain your rankings (use structures and 1 or 2 sentences).
