00:01 Dear friends, in this question we are given with four compounds and we have to find out which one is a e isomer.

00:07 We know about z and e configurations.

00:14 We say an isomer is that when two higher priority groups are on the same side.

00:20 In case of z isomer, higher priority groups are on the same side of the double bond.

00:39 Side of the double bond.

00:47 Then we say it is a z isomer, otherwise e.

00:51 That means if it is e isomer, then they will be in the opposite side.

00:58 Higher priority groups are on the opposite side.

01:02 Now, let us check here, bromine and ethyl group.

01:07 So higher priority group is bromine.

01:09 So let us put it number one and number two.

01:12 Here, nitrogen and oxygen.

01:14 Oxin is having higher priority compared to nitrogen.

01:19 So let this be 1 and this is 2.

01:22 Therefore it is z -isomer because they are on the same side.

01:26 When they are on the same side it is z -isomer.

01:29 So this is z -isomer.

01:30 Coming to the second one, here chlorine and fluorine.

01:34 Clorine is higher priority than fluorine...
