Organic Chemistry-Isomerism

E and Z Isomerism

We can see there are two different isomers, the C=C double bond prevents rotation meaning these are chemically different, there is more space for other compounds to reach the double bond in the one on the right. When re-drawn like ethene...

Trans but-2-ene, the E isomer                                   Cis but-2-ene, the Z isomer
