(ii) 2-Methylbut-2-ene
(iii) Pent-2-ene

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given compounds shows geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze each compound based on the presence of a double bond and the arrangement of substituents around that double bond. Geometrical isomerism (cis-trans isomerism) occurs when there are two different groups attached to each carbon of the double bond. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Pent-1-ene:** - Structure: CH2=CH-CH2-CH2-CH3 - The double bond is between the first and second carbon atoms. - Since one of the carbons in the double bond (C1) has two hydrogen atoms attached (CH2), it does not have different substituents on both sides of the double bond. ...
