The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds exhibit geometrical isomerism, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Geometrical Isomerism Geometrical isomerism, also known as cis-trans isomerism, occurs in compounds with restricted rotation around a bond, typically a double bond or in certain coordination complexes. It arises when two or more substituents are arranged differently in space. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option #### Option A: C=C H H CH3 C2H5 - This compound has a double bond between two carbon atoms (C=C). - The substituents on the double bond are H, H, CH3, and C2H5. - Since both substituents on one carbon are the same (H and H), this compound cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Conclusion**: Does not show geometrical isomerism. #### Option B: Pt(NH3)2Cl2 - This is a square planar complex. - The structure can be represented as: ``` Cl | NH3-Pt-NH3 | Cl ``` - In this arrangement, the two Cl groups can be on the same side (cis) or on opposite sides (trans). - **Conclusion**: Shows geometrical isomerism. #### Option C: [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]+ - This is an octahedral complex. - The possible arrangements can be: 1. Both Cl groups on the same side (cis). 2. Both Cl groups on opposite sides (trans). - The structure can be visualized as: ``` NH3 | NH3-Cr-Cl | Cl | NH3 ``` - **Conclusion**: Shows geometrical isomerism. #### Option D: C2H4Cl2 - This compound has a double bond between two carbon atoms. - The substituents are Cl and H on each carbon. - The two Cl atoms can be on the same side (cis) or on opposite sides (trans). - **Conclusion**: Shows geometrical isomerism. ### Final Conclusion The compounds that show geometrical isomerism are: - Option B: Pt(NH3)2Cl2 - Option C: [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]+ - Option D: C2H4Cl2 ### Summary of Results - **Option A**: Does not show geometrical isomerism. - **Option B**: Shows geometrical isomerism. - **Option C**: Shows geometrical isomerism. - **Option D**: Shows geometrical isomerism. ### Final Answer Options B, C, and D show geometrical isomerism. ---
