Assertion : Geometrical isomerism is also called cis-trans isomerism.
Reason : Propene shows geometrical isomerism.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Geometrical isomerism is possible only when each double bonded carbon atom is attached to two different atoms or groups. No geometrical isomers are possible for propene `(CH_(3)CH=CH_(2))` because one of the double bonded carbon atom has two identical groups (H-atoms) attached to it.
