#1
Front (Question)
What is E/Z Isomerism?
Back (Answer)
A form of stereoisomerism.
#2
Front (Question)
What is steroisomerism?
Back (Answer)
Same structural formula but different spatial arrangement of atoms
#3
Front (Question)
When do alkenes show E/Z isomerism?
Back (Answer)
When there are different atoms/groups bonded to EACH carbon of the double bond. They are fixed in spatial arrangement due to lack of rotation of C–C
#4
Front (Question)
How do you determine priority when naming isomers?
Back (Answer)
Look at 2 atoms bonded directly to each C of C–C. Highest atomic number = highest priority. Highest priority on same side of C–C = Z (zusammen) Highest priority on opposite side of C—C = E
