Detailed Solution

Conditions for Geometrical Isomerism: For a compound to show geometrical (cis-trans or E/Z) isomerism:

  1. Must have a C=C double bond (restricted rotation)
  2. Each carbon of the double bond must have two different groups
  3. The double bond should allow for different spatial arrangements
