The compounds shown below are geometric isomers, meaning that they have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space. This can lead to differences in physical properties such as melting point. Therefore, the compounds would have different melting points. Optical rotation is not relevant in this case as there are no chiral centers in the molecules.
