The number of geometrical isomers of CH_ 3 - CH=CH - CH=CH -CH=CHCl...

The number of geometrical isomers of CH3−\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}−-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}−CH=CHCl-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCl} is

Options

  1. A2
  2. B4
  3. C6
  4. 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 2n=23′=82^{n}=2^{3^{\prime}}=8, where nn is the number of double bonds whose each carbon atom is differently substituted.
