Out of the following, the alkene that exhibits optical isomerism is
(a) 3-methyl -2- pentene
(b) 4-methyl - 1- pentene
(c) 3-methyl -1- pentene
(d) 2-methyl -2- pentene
Correct Option**(c) 3-methyl -1- pentene**
Explanation:
Optical isomerism is shown by the carbon compounds which possess atleast one chiral carbon.
Thus, 3-methyl-1- pentane possess a chiral carbone, hence it shows optical isomerism.
