We can't draw structures on this board.
If you want to draw a straight line formula, it would look something like this:
C-C=C-C-C-C-C (You can add the H atoms)
On carbon 2(from the left) AND on carbon 3, place the two H atoms on the same side (say on top) for the cis isomer (or both on the bottom). For the trans isomer, put the two H atoms on opposite sides (1 on the top and 1 on the bottom).
write two geometric isomers for 2-heptene

I found two sites that show the structures but I could not post them. Here is another one showing the trans isomer. Its at the bottom of the page. I'll look for another one for the trans isomer and post it if I can find one.
I found other sites but they won't post either so I suppose we must be satisfied with what I have given you. Let me know you need more help. I can describe it in more detail if you tell me what you don't understand.
Ms Sue graciously told me what was wrong. Here are the sites, perhaps a little late, but better late than never.

and on the next site scroll to the bottom of the page.
