The number of geometrical isomers of CH ₃- CH = CH - CH = CH - CH = CHCl is
Options
- A2
- B4
- C6
- D8
Correct answer
D. 8
Step-by-step solution
The given structure has three double bonds whose each carbon atom is differently substituted hence number of geometrical isomers will be 2^ n =2^ 3^ =8 , where n is the number of double bonds whose each carbon atom is differently substituted.
