Answer: 32
32-41
The necessary and sufficient conditions for a compound to exhinit geomatric isomersim is that the two groups attached to the same carbon must be different,
In 1-Butene similar hydrogen atom are attached to the same carbon atom ,so it does not exhibit geometric isomerism.
But 2-Butene can exist in the form of cls and trans isomers.

Answer: 33
33-41
Two carbons atom joined by a single bond are capable of free rotation about it.However when two carbon atom are joined are joined by a double bond they can not rotate freely,As a result the relative position of the various groups attached to these carbons atoms get fixed and give rise to cis-temperature.

Answer: 35
35-41
Two carbons atom joined by a single bond are capable of free rotation about it,However when two carbons atom are joined by a double bond ,they can not rotate freely.As a result the relative positions of the various groups attached to these carbon atoms get fixed and give rise to cic-trans isomers.
Question: 36
What does sp-hybridization occur?
