cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid are the 2 isomers with the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isomers are the structures having the same molecular formula but their is a difference in their structural formula and this concept is known as isomerism.

Here we have the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄ and it may be dicarboxylic acid and it may be exist as geometrical isomers as cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid.

The isomers are given.

Draw the structure for cis-2,3-dibromo-2-hexene.

padilas [110]

First, draw the 2-hexene. Th is is a molecule of six carbons with a double bond in the second carbon:

      CH3 - CH = CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Secong, put one Br on the second carbon and one Br on the third carbon:

    CH3 - CBr = CBr - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Third, cis means that the two Br are placed in opposed positions, this is drawn with one Br up and the other down. So, you need to represent the position of the Br in the space:

      H   Br        H    H      H
       |    |           |       |    |
H - C - C = C - C - C - C - H
       |           |    |       |    |
      H          Br H     H      H

The important fact to realize is that the two Br are in opposed sides of the molecule.
