reaction

There are actuallly two isomeric 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of 2-pentanone.  Draw the structures of these isomers.  (is it Z and E isomes?, see att. 1)
2-pentanone also forms a derivative on treatment with semicarbazide. Note that semicarbazine has two -NH2 groups that might react with the carbonyl of the ketone to form the semicarbazone. Explain why it reacts as shown in the attachement 2.
