JEE Main Chemistry question

Geometrical isomerism is NOT shown by

(A)CH₃CH₂–C(CH₃)=C(CH₃)–CH₂CH₃
(B)C₂H₅–CH=CH–CH₂I
(C)CH₂=C(Cl)CH₃Correct
(D)CH₃–CH=CH–CH=CH₂

Answer: (C)

Solution

In CH₂=C(Cl)CH₃, the terminal alkene carbon bears two identical substituents (H, H); geometric isomerism requires each double-bond carbon to bear two different
