no for cis trans isomerism to exist, 2 conditions must be fufilled. firstly, there must be restricted rotation about the double bond. Secondly, there must be 2 different substituent groups attached to each carbon atom. In 1-pentene, one of the carbon has 2 hydrogen attached to it, thus it does not fufill the second condition. Hence, 1-pentene does not exhibit geometrical isomerism(cis-trans)

∙ 14y agoPentene is an asymmetric alkene and all asymmetric alkenes (except terminal alkenes) show the Cis-trans isomerism so 2-pentene has two isomers Cis-2-pentene and Trans-2-pentene

∙ 13y agoNo, an '-yn' compound (triple C-to-C bond) is linear at that place.

Why does a tetrahedral complex of the type MA2B2 not show geometrical isomerism?
For Geometrical isomerism the free rotation about the bonds should be restricted so a double bonded or cyclic compound may show the geometrical isomerism.
Why elctrovalent compound does not show the isomerism while covalent compound show isomerism?
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.
Why do alkenes show cis-trans isomerism?
Restricted rotation of the carbon-carbon double bond.
What is the difference between positional isomerism and functional isomerism?
structural isomer explain the change in the arrangement of atoms around carbon atom even normal or iso-structure. But the functional isomer show the change in the functional group of compounds
Does isomerism exist in disaccharides?
Yes

How do alkenes show geometric isomerism?
all the non terminal straight chain alkenes show the geometrical isomerism..
Why 2-butene show geometric isomerism while 1-butene does not?
2-butene show geomatric isomerism because each double bond carbon atom has two different group

What are the isomers of 1-chloro-1-fluorocyclopropane?
This is only one compound and does not show isomerism.
Why do alkenes show cis-trans isomerism?
Restricted rotation of the carbon-carbon double bond.
What is the another name of geometric isomers?
Geometric isomerism also known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism
Is cis-trans isomerism included in geometrical isomerism?
The geometrical isomerism is mainly Cis-trans isomerism but in some cases we use another term Z and E isomers, they are almost same.
Which amino acid does not show any optical isomerism?
Glycine because it is not chiral :)
What is the difference between positional isomerism and functional isomerism?
structural isomer explain the change in the arrangement of atoms around carbon atom even normal or iso-structure. But the functional isomer show the change in the functional group of compounds

Yes
What has the author George W Edgett written?
