Answer 1

cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid are the 2 isomers with the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isomers are the structures having the same molecular formula but their is a difference in their structural formula and this concept is known as isomerism.

Here we have the molecular formula C₄H₄O₄ and it may be dicarboxylic acid and it may be exist as geometrical isomers as cis-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid and trans-2- butene-1,4-dioic acid.

The isomers are given.
