What is E-Z Isomerism in Alkenes Explained about?

E-Z isomerism occurs when a carbon-carbon double bond has two different substituents attached. The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules are used to assign the configuration as either E or Z based on the atomic number of the substituents. Methylpropene exhibits E-Z isomerism with one isomer being E and the other Z, while but-1-ene does not exhibit E-Z isomerism due to having identical substituents on both carbons of the double bond. 2-bromo-3-chlorobut-2-ene exhibits E-Z isomerism with the bromine having higher priority
