The isomerism that arises due to restricted bond rotation is

A

metamerism

B

optical isomerism

C

position isomerism

D

geometrical isomerism

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Basic needs for geometrical isomerism are
(i) Presence of double bond, i.e, restricted rotation which also may be in case of single bond as in cycloalkanes.
(ii) Doubly bonded carbon atom must e linked to two different groups.
