Q. Different structures generated due to rotation about, C – C axis, of an organic molecule, are examples of
A) Geometrical isomerism
B) Conformational isomerism
C) Optical isomerism
D) Structural isomerism
Explanation
(b)
The different arrangement of atoms in space that results from the carbon-carbon single bond free rotation by 360${^\circ}$ are called conformations or conformational isomers and this phenomenon is called conformational isomerism.
