Vedclass · Answer

(A) The given structure contains three stereogenic elements:$1$. One chiral center (the carbon atom attached to the $Br$ atom).$2$. Two double bonds capable of exhibiting geometrical isomerism ($E/Z$ isomerism).Since all three stereogenic centers are independent and the molecule is unsymmetrical,the total number of stereoisomers is given by $2^n$,where $n$ is the number of stereocenters.Here,$n = 3$.Therefore,total stereoisomers $= 2^3 = 8$.

List-$I$ Isomeric pairs	List-$II$ Type of isomers
$A$. Propanamine and $N$-Methylethanamine	$I$. Metamers
$B$. Hexan-$2$-one and Hexan-$3$-one	$II$. Positional isomers
$C$. Ethanamide and Hydroxyethanimine	$III$. Functional isomers
$D$. $o$-nitrophenol and $p$-nitrophenol	$IV$. Tautomers

Total number of stereoisomers possible for the given structure:
