Q. A cyclic stereoisomer having the molecular formula $C_{4}H_{7}Cl$ are classified and tabulated. Find out the correct set of numbers. Geometrical Optical
A) 6 2
B) 4 2
C) 6 0
D) 4 0
Explanation
(a)
The acyclic stereoisomers of $C_{4}H_{7}Cl$ are
[image:12_image282.emf]
Number of optical isomers =$2^{n} = 2^{1} = 2$
Hence, total number of geometrical isomers=6
Total number of optical isomers =2.
