Question

A similarity between optical and geometrical isomerism is that :

• 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 stereo-isomerism.
• D. they have no similarity.

Answer 1

The correct option is C both are included in stereo-isomerism.

Optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism both are forms of stereo isomerism.
