I have seen in a book thatdue to resonance in CHO-CHO , partial double bond character is formed making it a restricted rotation structure and hence satisfying all the required conditions and able to show geometrical isomerism!!Is it true??Help me frnds..

HELLO MADHWESH,
It is given that in a some books that resonance in CHO-CHO has a partial double bond character hence it forms a a restricted rotation and hence satisfying all the conditions and able to show geometrical isomerism
the statement is 100% correct
but i will tell you one thing see
the main condition for isomerism is always the plane of symmetry and this you have to know
but not the resonance of the compound
THANK YOU
