Question

Geometrical isomerism is shown by
Options
A Lactic acid
B Maleic acid
Correct Answer
C 1-Butene
D 1,1-Dichloroethylene
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Maleic acid is HOOC-CH=CH-COOH which exists as cis (maleic acid) and trans (fumaric acid) isomers. Lactic acid shows optical isomerism. 1-Butene and 1,1-dichloroethylene do not show geometrical isomerism.

Hint

Which of these has a C=C with different groups on each carbon?
