Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
2-butene shows geometrical isomerism due to :
A
Free rotation about single bond
B
Free rotation about double bond
C
Chiral carbon
D
Restricted rotation about double bond
Answer
Restricted rotation about double bond
Explanation
Solution
Due to presence of > C = C < in butene-2, it shows restricted rotation. Hence, give two types of arrangements around the space of > C = C < as c is and trans-forms.
