CHM 102 Alkenes: Structure, Bonding, and Geometrical Isomerism Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Which of the following alkenes can exhibit cis-trans isomerism?
Options
A Propene
B 1-Butene
C 2-Butene
Correct Answer
D 2-Methylpropene
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

2-Butene (CH3-CH=CH-CH3) has two different groups on each doubly bonded carbon, allowing cis and trans isomers. Terminal alkenes and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes cannot show geometrical isomerism.

Hint

Each carbon of the double bond must have two different substituents.
