Which of the following compounds will exhibit cis-trans (geometrical) isomerism?
Options
- A2-butene
- BButanol
- C2-butyne
- D2-butenol
Correct answer
A. 2-butene
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea Compounds which have at least one double bond ( C = C ) and the groups attached with double bonded carbon atoms are different, exhibit geometrical isomerism. CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ OH no geometrical isomers butanol CH ₃ C CCH ₃ no geometrical isomers CH ₃ CH ₂ C ( OH )= CH ₂ no geometrical isomers.
