(Z)-But-2-ene

(Z)-But-2-ene, also known as cis-2-butene, is a flammable gas and one of the two geometric isomers of 2-butene. In this "cis" configuration, the two methyl groups are on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond. This arrangement causes steric strain, making it slightly less stable and having a higher energy state than its "trans" counterpart. It is a petrochemical typically produced by the catalytic cracking of crude oil. While difficult to separate from its trans isomer, the mixture is primarily used in the production of high-octane gasoline and as a precursor for manufacturing butadiene.

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 mo
