How many steroisomers does this moelcules have?
`CH_(3)CH=CHCH_(2)CHBrCH_(3)`

A

`2`

B

`4`

C

`6`

D

`8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

On account of different particles bonded to each doubly bonded carbon, it exhibits geometrical isomerism:

Each of these is optically acitve on account of the presence of a chiral carbon. Thus, a total of four steroisomers is possible:
`cis-(+),cis(-),trans-(+)`and `trans-(-)`
