Chemistry Question on Isomerism

Which one of the following pairs represents stereoisomerism?

A

Chain isomerism and rotational isomerism

B

Structural isomerism and geometrical isomerism

C

Linkage isomerism and geometrical isomerism

D

Optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism

Answer

Optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism

Explanation

Solution

Pair of optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism are able to exhibit the phenomenon of stereoisomerism because both type of isomers differ only in their orientation in space.
