To determine whether this compound is an e or z isomer, we have to assign priorities to the substituents coming off each carbon.
00:08
So if we look at the carbon on the left of the double bond here, the group coming off, the group's coming off of them.
00:18
It's looking at this top one, there's a carbon here, and the bottom one there's also a carbon here.
00:25
So so far they are equal.
00:27
But if we look at what groups are attached to that carbon, for the one on the bottom, we will have a hydrogen here and a hydrogen, and then this is another carbon.
00:37
The group at the top, this is a carbon here, and a carbon here.
00:44
So since the group on the top, the first carbons coming off this carbon here are both carbons that are the same, but the carbon on the top is attached to two other carbons, and the carbon on the bottom is only attached to one carbon.
01:01
And since carbon has a higher atomic number than hydrogen, this will have a higher priority since the carbon is attached to two carbons and not one...
