    Which of the following shows geometrical isomerism?

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br\]

    B)  \[(C{{H}_{2}})\,{{(COOH)}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[(C{{H}_{2}})\,{{(COOH)}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The compounds must fulfill two conditions to show geometrical isomemm. (i) The compound should have at least one \[C=C\]. (ii) The two groups attached to same carbon atom must be different, Out of given choices only [c] fulfills both conditions and shows geometrical isomerism. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (c) \\  2-butenel,4--dioicadd \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  H-C-COOH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-COOH}}\,\]
