Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the E-Z nomenclature for alkenes is also related with the trans-cis ones, being the Z (zusammen) same as cis and E (entgegen) same as trans, therefore, for the structure of the (E)-2-butenal which has the double bond at the second carbon is shown on the attached picture considering it is an aldehyde with the carbonyl group due to the -al- suffix.

Regards.
