Geometrical isomers differ in (PMET 2007)

A.position of functional group
B.position of atoms
C.spatial arrangement of atoms✓ Correct
D.length of carbon chain
Explanation

Geometrical isomerism is exhibited by the compound which possesses the double bond. It is also called cis-trans isomer, E-Z isomers. These isomers differ from one another in their geometry or spatial arrangement of atoms. The geometric isomers mainly arise from double bonds and ring structures. In C-C single bond, the rotation is free whereas the in double bond, the rotation is restricted about the double bond. This suggests that substituent group above and below will show different properties. For example- Thus, the correct option is (c) spatial arrangement of atoms
