Question

Which of the following compounds show geometrical isomerism?
Options
A (CH3)3N
B CH3CH=CH2
C (CH3)2NH
D CH3CH=CHCH3
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

CH3CH=CHCH3 (2-butene) shows geometrical isomerism because each carbon of the double bond has a methyl group and a hydrogen atom, allowing cis/trans forms. The other compounds either have no C=C or have identical groups at one end.

Hint

Which compound has a C=C with two different groups on each carbon?
