1 butene doesn't have cis and trans isomers where Cis/Trans Isomerism occurs when there are two different groups on each side of the C=C bond. 1 butene doesn't have this.
the lack of rotation of the double bond
The cis-trans isomerism tend to be very stable. Typically, trans isomers are more stable however, an exception lies in cis-trans isomers which makes them more stable than trans isomers.
This is a single bonded compound and cis-trans isomerism is only possible when fre rotation about a bond is restricted or a double bond or cycle is essential for existence of cis-trans isomers.
The geometrical isomerism is mainly Cis-trans isomerism but in some cases we use another term Z and E isomers, they are almost same.

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)
Restricted rotation of the carbon-carbon double bond.

cis/trans isomerism (also known as geometric isomerism) is a form of stereo isomerism describing the relative orientation of functional groups within a molecule. The terms cis and trans are from Latin, in which cis means "on the same side" and trans means "on the other side" or "across". Usually, for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers. This is typically due to the increased unfavorable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer. Therefore, trans isomers have a less exothermic heat of combustion, indicating higher thermochemical stability.trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexanecis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane
No. When bromine (aq) reacts with cyclohexene, the compound is now saturated, and will no longer have C=C bonds, thus it is unable to exhibit cis-trans 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.
