JEE MainChemistryBasics of Organic ChemistryMultiple correct+4 / −1
Among the following compounds, geometrical isomerism is exhibited by :
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C, D
The question asks which compounds show geometrical isomerism, but the actual structures/formulae for options A, B, C, D are missing in the prompt.
To determine geometrical isomerism, we must inspect each compound and check the required condition:
- For alkenes: each carbon of the bond must have two different substituents.
- For cycloalkanes: restricted rotation can lead to cis-trans isomerism when suitable substituents are present.
Since the options themselves are blank, it is not possible to independently derive which of A, B, C, or D exhibit geometrical isomerism.
However, the stored correct answer is given as C, D. Because the structures are absent, I cannot verify this from first principles.
So:
- I cannot fully solve the question as stated.
- Based only on the provided stored answer, the marked answer would be C and D, but this cannot be justified without the missing compounds.
