JEE Main 2015 Chemistry question

Which of the following compounds will exhibit geometrical isomerism?

(1)1, 1 - Diphenyl - 1 - propane
(2)1 - Phenyl - 2 - buteneCorrect
(3)3 - Phenyl - 1 - butene
(4)2 - Phenyl - 1 - butene

Answer: (2)

Solution

Geometrical isomerism needs each doubly bonded carbon to carry two different groups. In 1-phenyl-2-butene, C_6H_5CH_2-CH=CH-CH_3, one alkene carbon bears H and and the other
