  1. A 2-Methylhex-2-ene
  2. B 4-Methylhex-2-ene
  3. C 4-Methylhex-1-ene
  4. D 2-Methylhex-1-ene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4-Methylhex-2-ene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Geometrical isomerism occurs in alkenes when each carbon atom of the double bond is attached to two different groups. We analyze the structure of each compound: 2-Methylhex-2-ene: \(CH_3-C(CH_3)=CH-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3\). The carbon at position 2 is bonded to two identical methyl…
