<u>Answer:</u> The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Cis- and Trans- isomers are the geometrical isomers which have same chemical formula but different structural formula
According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.
If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as cis-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as trans-form.
We are given a chemical compound, which is 2-pentene.
In this the highest priority groups are methyl and ethyl groups.
When the groups are on the same side, it forms cis-form and when the groups are on the opposite side, it forms trans-form
The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
