Question

Assertion : Maleic acid shows geometrical isomerism.

Reason : It has different group attached to -C=C- bond.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A and R are false

Answer 1

Correct option (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:

Geometrical isomerism is possible when different groups are attached to the double bonded carbon atoms. e.g., maleic acid and fumaric acid are geometrical isomers.
