Answer 2

Configuration of C=C in Natural Rubber = (2,4)(2,4)

Explanation:

• Configuration of the carbon-carbon double bonds in natural rubber is-

         = (2,4)(2,4)

• Natural rubber or we can say linear cis-1,4-polyisoprene
• In cis-1,4-polyisoprene double bonds are present between $C_2$ and $C_3$ of isoprene units(a branched-chain unsaturated hydrocarbon)
• The chains are restricted to come closer due to the presence of cis configuration about double bonds

∴ The configuration of the carbon-carbon double bonds = (2,4)(2,4)
