Which of the following can show geometrical isomerism?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CHCl}=\mathrm{CHCl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CCl}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CCl}_2=\mathrm{CHCl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CHCl}=\mathrm{CHCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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. Hence, the correct option is (a).
