a) 2-Butene

b) 2-hexene

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer


The cis and trans forms are:

a)

 

b)


1Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have to draw the cis and trans forms of 2-butene.

2Part (a) Step 2: Explanation:

The cis form is:

Cis isomers are molecules that have the same atom connectivity. On the same side of a double bond, they have comparable side groups.

The trans form is:

Molecules with similar side groups on opposing sides of a double bond are called trans isomers.


3Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We have to draw cis and trans forms for 2-hexene.

4Part (b) Step 2: explanation

The cis form is:

Cis isomers are molecules that have the same atom connectivity. On the same side of a double bond, they have comparable side groups.

The trans form is:

Molecules with similar side groups on opposing sides of a double bond are called trans isomers.
