ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Z and E nomenclature:This kind of nomenclature is used for alkenes having more than two functional groups attached to it. In such cases, the simple cis, trans nomenclature does not apply, and the compound is named based on the priority of the functional groups attached to each carbon center. When groups of higher priority are placed on the same side across the double bond, the compound is named as Z, and the rest are termed as E.
