MCQ
Out of the following, the alkene that exhibits optical isomerism is
  • A
    $3-$ methyl $-2-$ pentene
  • B
    $4-$ methyl $-1-$ pentene
  • $3-$ methyl $-1-$ pentene
  • D
    $2-$ methyl $-2-$ pentene

Answer

Correct option: C.
$3-$ methyl $-1-$ pentene
c
For a compound to show optical isomerism, presence of chiral carbon atom is a necessary condition.

$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {{H_2}C = CH - \mathop C\limits^* H - C{H_2} - C{H_3}} \\ 
  {|\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {C{H_3}} 
\end{array}$
