which substance is used to differientiate between but-1-ene and but-2-ene?

Dear student,

Well it sounds to me you want to find a way to differentiate the structures of these two compounds. A logical and very helpful method in differentiating these compounds would be using spectroscopy, which is the interaction of radiation with matter. Specifically, HNMR spectroscopy (or proton NMR spectroscopy) would be a very helpful method. Proton NMR can help you determine the exact structure of a molecule, as it tells how many hydrogen atoms are on adjacent carbon atoms.
