Why is trans isomer more stable than cis isomer?
Because , Cis isomer are same group on same side of the c=c bond . & those are bulky group on the same side , they are formed steric repulsion to each other then Cis isomer are less stable than trans isomer is same group of opposite side of c=c bond no formation of steric repulsion to each other. and trans isomer is more stable than Cis isomer.....

Yes, a structural isomer means that it has a relatively similar structural make up.
Why does butane not have a geometric isomer?
I'm guessing it's because butane is an alkane, which means it only consists of single bonds, so you can't form a geometric isomer because it will be the isomer no matter how you change it.
Is fructose an isomer of glucose or is glucose an isomer of fructose?
Yes. And no, that's not an answer from a wise guy. A chemical isomer is a different "version" of a substance that has the same chemical formula but with a different molecular structure, and, therefore, different chemical and physical properties. Both fructose and glucose have C6H12O6 as their chemical formula, and each is an isomer of the other.

Why trans isomer have high boiling point then cis isomer?
Actually, the cis isomer has a higher boiling point than the trans one because cis isomers are polar and therefore it requires of more heat to break the stronger intermolecular force
Is the R(-)- isomer or the S(-)-isomer of adrenaline more potent?
The R(-)-isomer of adrenaline is more potent. Its orientation allows its benzylic hydroyxl to form a hydrogen bond with Serine410 whereas this doesn't happen with S(-)-isomers of adrenaline.
