QJEEM02Ch9aea: JEE Main 2002 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM02Ch9aea Solution: A similarity between optical and geometrical isomerism is that
A similarity between optical and geometrical isomerism is that
Multiple Choice Options
- A each forms equal number of isomers for a given compound
- B if in a compound one is present then so is the other
- C both are included in stereoisomerism
- D they have no similarity
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Stereoisomerism involve those isomers which contain same ligands in their co-ordination spheres but differ in the arrangement of those ligands in space. Stereo-isomerism is of two type geometrical isomerism ligands occupy different positions around the central metal atom or ion.
NOTE : In optical isomerism isomers have same formula but differ in their ability to rotate directions of the plane of polarized light.
