Question

Which of the following compounds will show geometrical isomerism?

(a) 2-butene

(b) propene 

(c) 1- phenyl propene 

(d) 2-methyl-2-butene

Answer 1

The correct option (a) 2-butene

(c) 1- phenyl propene 

Explanation:

 CH₃ - CH = H - CH₃ shows the property of geometrical isomerism.

CH₃ - CH = CH₂ does not show the property of geometrical isomerism. CH₃ - CH = CH - C₆H₅ shows the property of geometrical isomerism.

(CH₃)₂ - C = CH - CH₃ does not show the property of geometrical isomerism.
