NEET 2002 Chemistry question

Geometrical isomers are differ in :-

(1)Position of functional group
(2)Position of atoms
(3)Spatial arrangement of atomsCorrect
(4)Length of carbon chain

Answer: (3)

Solution

Geometrical (cis-trans) isomers have the same structural formula (same connectivity) and differ only in the spatial arrangement of atoms or groups about a double bond (or a ring), because rotation about it is restricted. So they differ in spatial arrangement of atoms: option
