The alkene that exhibits geometrical isomerism is:

  1. A
    propene
  2. B
    2-methylpropene
  3. C
    2-butene
  4. D
    2-methyl-2-butene

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

image
Geometrical isomerism (cis-trans) occurs in alkenes when each of the two doubly bonded carbon atoms is attached to two different groups.Propene: (One has two atoms).2-methylpropene: (Both have identical groups).2-butene: . Each doubly bonded carbon is attached to and . It exhibits cis and trans forms.2-methyl-2-butene: (One has two groups).
