Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement about stereoisomers is correct?
A
1, 2-dichloroethane has two geometrical isomers.
B
1, 2-dichloroethane has two optical isomers.
C
1, 2-dichloroethene has two geometrical isomers.
D
1, 2-dichloroethene has two optical isomers.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It can exist as either of two geometric isomers, cis-1, 2-dichloroethene or trans-1, 2-dichloroethene, but is often used as a mixture of the two.

Detailed explanation-2: -1, 2-dichloroethene shows cis-trans or geometrical isomerism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. The stereoisomerism is when isomerism is caused by the different arrangements of atoms or groups in space, the phenomenon is called stereoisomerism. The stereoisomers have the same structural formulas but differ in the arrangement of atoms in space. Geometrical Isomerism is shown by 1-2 dichloro Ethane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the three position isomers of di-chlorocyclohexanes has two geometrical isomers-the cis-and trans-isomers.
