Chemistry - STEREO ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

Explain question : Asking about the total stereo isomers of given compound.

Concept : This question is based on counting of stereoisomers.

Solution :

* Total stereocenters in the molecule (n) = 2

* Molecule has unsymmetrical ends so total stereoisomers = 2ⁿ = 2² = 4

* Both cis and trans isomeric forms are chiral so two pair of enantiomers are possible:

(cis-d, cis-ℓ, trans-d and trans-ℓ)

Final answer : Option (c)
