Which of the following will show geometrical isomerism?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Correct Option: (C)
Hexa-1,3,5-triene (C) shows geometrical isomerism because its central double bond () has two different groups ( and ) attached to each carbon atom.
This restricted rotation allows the molecule to exist in distinct cis and trans (or E/Z) spatial arrangements.
Allenes (A) and spiro compounds (D) with an even number of cumulative bonds or rings have terminal groups in mutually perpendicular planes, exhibiting optical isomerism instead.
1,3-dichlorobenzene (B) is a flat, rigid aromatic ring system that cannot form geometrical configuration isomers.
