The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds will exhibit geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze the structures of each compound and identify if they have a double bond with different groups attached to the carbon atoms involved in the double bond. Geometrical isomerism occurs when there are different substituents on each carbon of a double bond, allowing for different spatial arrangements (cis and trans forms). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The question mentions four compounds: - 1-phenyl-1-butene - 3-phenyl-1-butene - 2-phenyl-1-butene - 1,1-diphenylpropene 2. **Analyze 1-phenyl-1-butene**: - Structure: C=C with one phenyl group and one butyl group on one carbon, and hydrogen on the other. - Since there are different groups (phenyl and butyl) attached to one carbon and hydrogen on the other, this compound can exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis/trans). 3. **Analyze 3-phenyl-1-butene**: - Structure: C=C with a phenyl group on the third carbon and hydrogen on both sides of the double bond. - Here, both carbons of the double bond have hydrogen atoms, which are the same. Therefore, this compound does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. 4. **Analyze 2-phenyl-1-butene**: - Structure: C=C with a phenyl group on the second carbon and hydrogen on both sides of the double bond. - Similar to the previous compound, both carbons have hydrogen atoms, so this compound does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. 5. **Analyze 1,1-diphenylpropene**: - Structure: C=C with two phenyl groups attached to one carbon and a methyl group and hydrogen on the other carbon. - Since both substituents on one carbon are the same (phenyl groups), this compound does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. 6. **Conclusion**: The only compound that exhibits geometrical isomerism is **1-phenyl-1-butene**. ### Final Answer: **1-phenyl-1-butene** is the compound that exhibits geometrical isomerism. ---
