What type of isomerism is more commonly observed in alkenes?
Options
- AStructural isomerism
- BGeometric isomerism
- CTautomeric isomerism
- DOptical isomerism
Correct answer
B. Geometric isomerism
Step-by-step solution
Alkenes commonly exhibit geometric isomerism due to the presence of a double bond, leading to cis-trans isomerism in compounds with different spatial arrangements around the double bond.
