Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Cis and trans 2-butene are geometrical isomers.
$ \underset{,CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},H}},=\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},H}}, $ and $ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ CH_3 \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{,CH=}},\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}},H\ ,}}, $
