Which of the following will show geometrical isomerism?

  1. A 2-methylbut-2-ene
  2. B 1,2-dibromopropene
  3. C Cyclohexene
  4. D 2-methylpropene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1,2-dibromopropene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Geometrical isomerism is exhibited by alkenes if both carbon atoms of the double bond are attached to two different groups. For 2-methylbut-2-ene, the structure is \(CH_3-C(CH_3)=CH-CH_3\). One carbon of the double bond is attached to two identical methyl groups, so it does not…
