How many stereoisomers does this molecule have?

How many stereoisomers does this molecule have? How many stereoisomers does this molecule have?

Options

  1. A4
  2. B6
  3. C8
  4. D2

Correct answer

A. 4

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea : (i) Number of optical isomers =2n=2^n where, n=n= number of dissimilar asymmetric carbon atoms. (ii) Number of geometrical isomers =2ℏ=2^{\hbar} where, n=n= number of double bond only when the two ends of the chain are different How many stereoisomers does this molecule have?
Here, number of optical isomers =21=2=2^1=2 Number of geometrical isomers =21=2=2^1=2 Hence, number of stereoisomers =2+2=4=2+2=4
