Q1. A chemist is testing various unsaturated compounds for geometric isomerism but finds that 2-butyne fails the test. This is primarily because:
Answer: Linear geometry around the triple bond
Explanation: 2-Butyne cannot show cis-trans isomerism because the geometry is linear around the triple bond. 2-Butene is tempting as it shows isomerism.
