Q. Which one of the following alkenes does not exhibit geometric isomerism?

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

The main conditions for exhibiting geometrical isomers are

(i) Presence of different groups on same double bonded carbon.

(ii) Restricted rotation

$\therefore C _{3} H _{6}\left( CH _{3}- CH = CH _{2}\right)$ does not exhibit geometric

isomerism due to presence of same group on double bonded carbon atom $\left( C _{1}\right)$.
