The alkene that axhibits geometrical isomerism is

While of the following compounds will exhibit geometrical (or cis-trans) isomerism? (i) CH_(3)CH=CHCH_(2)CH_(3) (ii) C_(6)H_(5)CH=CHCH_(3) (iii) CH_(2)=C(CH_(3))_(2) (CH_(3))_(2)C=CH-C_(2)H_(5) Strategy: Essential requirement for any alkene to exhibit geometrical isomerism is that each of the double bonded carbon atoms should be attached to two different atoms or groups of atoms: m!=n and p!=r . Notice that m and p may be same or different Similarly, n and r may be same or different.

The compound(s) that exhibits(s) geometrical isomerism is/are
