Step 1 of 4
Rules to identify the E/Z isomers:
1. Assign the priority order to the groups on each double bonded carbon by using atomic number.
Higher atomic numbers get higher priority.
2. If the two higher priority groups are on the same side of double bond, then the alkene is Z-
isomer.
3. If the two higher priority groups are on the opposite side of double bond, then the alkene is E-
