The alkene that exhibits geometrical isomerism is

Question

The alkene that exhibits geometrical isomerism is (A) propene (B) 2-methylpropene (C) 2-butene (D) 2-methyl-2-butene

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When two groups attached to a double bonded carbon atoms are same, the compound does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. Only 2-butene exhibits cis-trans isomerism.

Q. The alkene that exhibits geometrical isomerism is
