Chemistry - STEREO ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation:

This question asks to determine which of the provided substituted cyclohexene or cyclohexane structures is capable of exhibiting geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism.

Concept :

This question is based on Geometrical Isomerism.

Solution :

Cycloalkenes containing up to seven carbon atoms do not exhibit geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism across the double bond because the trans isomer would involve excessive angle strain, making it unstable and hence non-existent. Therefore, options 1, 2, and 4 cannot show geometrical isomerism. Option 3 show geometrical isomerism

Trans form Final Answer: Option (C)
