Chemistry Question on coordination compounds
The compound that can exhibit geometrical isomerism is
A
CH3(CH2)4CHO
B
(CH)2(COOH)2
C
(CH2)2(COOH)2
D
(CH3)2C=CHCH3
Answer
(CH)2(COOH)2
Explanation
Solution
Geometrical isomerism is exhibited by only those compounds in which at least one double bond is present and different groups are attached to the same carbon atom.
fulfill both the conditions, so it exhibits geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism.
