(E)-But-2-ene, or trans-2-butene, is the other geometric isomer of 2-butene, where the methyl groups are on opposite sides of the double bond. This "trans" arrangement is more stable than the cis-isomer due to reduced steric hindrance. Like its counterpart, it is a colorless, flammable gas produced from crude oil. It shares similar chemical applications with the cis-isomer, and they are often used as a mixture. Key uses include the production of butadiene for synthetic rubber and the synthesis of the solvent butanone, which is formed through the hydration of 2-butene to 2-butanol followed by oxidation.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the mod
