Q4 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (21 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which of the following can show geometrical isomerism?

  • Correct answer
    A
    \(\mathrm{CHCl}=\mathrm{CHCl}\)
  • B
    \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CCl}_2\)
  • C
    \(\mathrm{CCl}_2=\mathrm{CHCl}\)
  • D
    \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}_2\)

Solution

There are two geometrical isomer of 1, 2-dichloroethene, one is called cis -1, 2-dichloroethene and the other is called trans-1, 2-di-chloroethene. Figure
Hence, the correct option is (a).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
