Which of the following compounds may exist as cis-trans isomers?
Options
A 1-Butene
B 2-Butene
Correct Answer
C Cyclopropane
D Acetone
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

2-Butene (CH3CH=CHCH3) can exist as cis and trans isomers because each carbon of the double bond has a methyl group and a hydrogen atom. 1-Butene has CH2 at one end, cyclopropane is a ring, and acetone has no C=C.
