Calculation of no of geometrical isomers

Chemistry , Organic Chemistry

let z be the no of carbon-carbon double bonds

type 1: when atoms or grps attached at the end of the carbon chain are different

total no of geometrical isomers = 2^z

type 2: when atoms or grps attached at the end of the carbon chain are same

total no of geometrical isomers = 2^(z-1) + 2^{(z/2)-1} if z is even

=2^(z-1) +2^{(z-1)/2} if z ie odd
