Does 3-octene show cis-trans isomerism?
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)
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.
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
Are all alkenes gases?
No. The lower alkenes are gases. As the number of carbon atom increases, liquid and solid alkenes are known.
How do alkenes show geometric isomerism?
all the non terminal straight chain alkenes show the geometrical isomerism..

Do alkenes show mesomerism?
no yes
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.
Who found alkenes?
Zoe alkenes found alkenes
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.
Why don't alkanes have geometric isomers?
Alkynes always form a triple bond. This being so, essentially, all you have are the two carbon molecules and the triple bond! No matter what way your turn it, or how you look at it, even if in a mirror (ie. optical isomerism) you will always have the same looking molecule while to have a geometrical isomer cis or trans form should be there. gen equation for a compound to be a geometrica isomer: 1.YXC = CXY 2.YXC = CXZ
Which amino acid does not show any optical isomerism?
Glycine because it is not chiral :)
