24. Which one of the following pairs represents stereoisomerism?
[2005]
(a) Structural isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
(b) Optical isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
(c) Chain isomerism and Rotational isomerism.
(d) Linkage isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 24.(b)
Solution:
- (b) Optical and geometrical isomerism pair up to exhibit stereoisomerism. This is because the isomers differ only in their orientation in space.
