Butene

 

But-2-enes are the simplest alkene exhibiting E/Z-isomerism; one isomer has terminal carbons on the same side, and the other does on the opposite side. Their boiling points are so close to each other that the separation of two isomers is virtually impossible, yet their physical properties are similar enough that rigorous separation is not necessary in most cases.
