MCQ
Geometrical isomers differ in
  • A
    Position of atoms
  • B
    Length of carbon
  • Spatial arrangement of atoms
  • D
    Position of functional group

Answer

Correct option: C.
Spatial arrangement of atoms
c
They have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity of atoms but differ in spatial arrangements of groups.

Geometrical isomerism is observed due to restricted rotation around the carbon-carbon double bond.

In geometrical isomerism there is no change in the position of the double bond or there is no change in the $C - C$ bond length there is only a change in the spatial arrangement of the groups across the double bond.
