The geometrical isomers are formed together in almost all chemical reactions, with the percentages proportional to their stability.

Geometric isomers occur when atoms are restricted from rotating around a bond.

1,2-Dichloroehane Ball and Stick Model
This molecule is 1,2-dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2). The green balls represent the chlorine atoms in the molecule. The second model can be formed by twisting the molecule around the central carbon-carbon single bond. Both models represent the same molecule and are not isomers.
