Geometrical isomerism arises due to the restricted rotation around a bond, resulting in different spatial arrangements of atoms. Optical isomerism, on the other hand, arises due to the presence of chiral centers, leading to molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other (enantiomers).
Optical isomerism arises due to the presence of chiral centers in a molecule, which leads to the molecule being non-superimposable on its mirror image. Geometrical isomerism, on the other hand, arises from restricted rotation around a double bond or ring. Organic compounds can exhibit optical isomerism if they have chiral centers but typically do not show geometrical isomerism unless there are specific structural features like double bonds or rings that limit rotation.
Probable you think to CH2Br2, dibromomethane.
The carbonyl group present in aldehydes or ketones itself is optically inactive but if a carbon attached to carbonyl group is asymmetric (attached to four different groups or atoms) then such compound may show to enantiomers as there are two enantiomers of CH3-CHCl-CHO.
Nt sure I agree with the question. Consider the octahedral polyatomic ion Co(NH3)4Cl2+ this has trans and cis isomers (chlorines opposite each other at 180 0 or next to each other at 90 0). Generelly isomerism is rare in electrovalent compounds. One interesting example is the optical isomerism of ammonium sodium tartrate discovered by Pasteur.
CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO have chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four distinct groups. Their mirror images are non-superimposable. This asymmetry results in optical isomerism, where the molecules exist as enantiomers.

optical path = μ x geometricalpath
Glycine is the only amino acid that does not show any optical isomerism because it does not have a chiral carbon atom, which is necessary for optical isomerism to occur. Glycine has two hydrogens attached to its alpha carbon, making it achiral.
ofcourse optical zoom..................

All mirages are optical illusions but all optical illusions are not mirages.

The difference between optical and non optical is the way the drive in the DVD reads the disk. Optical is a better and more higher quality reader. So the picture is much better.
light is must for optical microscope while is not necessary for nonn optical one
Stereochemical structures refer to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule. They include configurations such as cis-trans isomerism, optical isomerism, and geometric isomerism, which affect the physical and chemical properties of the molecule. Knowledge of stereochemical structures is important in understanding the reactivity and behavior of organic compounds.
