Which of the following compounds will exhibit cis-trans (geometrical) isomerism?

  1. A
    Butanol
  2. B
    -Butyne
  3. C
    -Butenol
  4. D
    -Butene

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Geometrical isomerism requires:Restricted rotation (double bond).Two different groups attached to each carbon of the double bond.In -Butene (), each carbon of the double bond is attached to an and a . Thus, it exists as cis- -butene and trans- -butene.
