    Which of the following shows geometrical isomerism?

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br\]

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

    C) \[{{(CH)}_{2}}{{(COOH)}_{2}}\] 

    D) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The compounds must fulfill two conditions to show geometrical isomerism. (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. \[\underset{2-butene\,1,4-dioic\,acid}{\mathop{\underset{(c)}{\mathop{\underset{H-C-COOH}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{H-C-COOH}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,\]
