Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds does NOT exhibit geometric isomerism?
  • Step 1: Understand what geometric isomerism is. It occurs in compounds with a double bond or a ring structure where different arrangements of groups can exist.
  • Step 2: Identify the compounds given in the question. Look for those that have double bonds or rings.
  • Step 3: Check if ethane has a double bond or any substituents. Ethane is a simple alkane with the formula C2H6.
  • Step 4: Confirm that ethane has only single bonds and no substituents that would allow for different arrangements.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since ethane does not have a double bond or any substituents, it does not exhibit geometric isomerism.
