Dear student

2-butene can show geometrical isomerism, due to different atoms/group of atoms attached on both sides of double bondedcarbons asHandCH3​−groups.

2-Butanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-butanol and (S)-(+)-2-butanol. It is normally encountered as a 1:1 mixture of the two stereoisomers — a racemic mixture.
