Question

Which of the following terms best describes the following pair of molecules?

• A. Isomers
• B. Constitutional isomers
• C. Configurational isomers
• D. Geometrical isomers

Answer 1

The correct option is D Geometrical isomers


The molecules have the same molecular formula $\left(C_7{H}_{14}\right)$, making them isomers. However the molecules differ in their spatial orientation due to double bond. Threrfore, molecules can be best described as geometrical isomers.
