####33. Which one of the following pairs represents stereoisomerism?
[2005]
(a) Structural isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
(b) Optical isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
(c) Chain isomerism and Rotational isomerism.
(d) Linkage isomerism and Geometrical isomerism
(a) Resonating structures
(b) Tautomers
(c) Geometrical isomers
(d) Optical isomers
Show Answer
Solution:
- O) Optical and geometrical isomerism pair up to exhibit stereoisomerism. This is because the isomers differ only in their orientation in space.
