Geometrical isomerism arises due to _?
Correct answer: C. Restriction of rotation around a double bond
- A. Rotation around a double bond
- B. Restriction of rotation around a single bond
- C. Restriction of rotation around a double bond
- D. Due to double bond
Explanation
The rotation of two carbon atoms joined by a double bond could happen only if the π bond breaks.This ordinarily costs too much energy, making geometric isomers possible. So it is difficult to remove π bond so it's rotation becomes restricted.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
