How many stereoisomers does this molecule have?

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{CH} = \mathrm{CHC}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{CHBrC}{\mathrm{H}_3}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

The correct answer is A (4) because the molecule has one chiral center, leading to two enantiomers, and exhibits geometrical isomerism (cis/trans), resulting in a total of 4 stereoisomers.

Assertion (A): The compounds that have the same constitution and sequence of covalent bonds but differ in relative positions of their atoms or groups in space are called stereoisomers.

Reason (R): Stereoisomerism is a special type of isomerism which can be classified as geometrical and optical isomerism
