The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds is unable to exhibit geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze the conditions required for geometrical isomerism to occur in alkenes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Geometrical Isomerism**: Geometrical isomerism occurs in alkenes when there is restricted rotation around the double bond (C=C) and when there are different groups attached to the carbon atoms involved in the double bond. The general condition for geometrical isomerism is that: - The two groups attached to one carbon atom of the double bond must be different (let's call them A and B). - The two groups attached to the other carbon atom of the double bond must also be different (let's call them C and D). 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A**: A C=C B - Here, A and B are different. Therefore, this compound can exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Option B**: A X C=C A Y - Here, A is the same on both sides of the double bond, but X and Y are different. Therefore, this compound can also exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Option C**: A A C=C A B - Here, A is the same on both sides of the double bond (A and A). Therefore, this compound cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism since the condition of having different groups is not met. - **Option D**: None of these - This option suggests that all compounds can exhibit geometrical isomerism, which is incorrect based on our analysis. 3. **Conclusion**: From the analysis, **Option C** (A A C=C A B) is the compound that is unable to exhibit geometrical isomerism because it does not meet the necessary conditions. ### Final Answer: **Option C** is the correct answer as it cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism.
