E-Z ISOMERISM

• WHAT IS AN E-Z ISOMER DUE TO?

  restriction in rotation of pi bond
• WHEN CAN AN E-Z ISOMER HAPPEN?

  all double bonds
• ANOTHER NAME FOR AN E ISOMER?

  cis
• ANOTHER NAME FOR A Z ISOMER?

  trans
• WHAT TYPE OF BOND DO P ORBITALS FORM?

  pi
• WHAT TYPE OF BOND DO S ORBITALS FORM?

  sigma
• WHAT IS THE NAME OF A COMPOUND WITH HIGHEST VALUES OPPOSITE?

  E
• WHAT IS THE NAME OF A COMPOUND WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES TOGETHER?

  Z
• WHY DO E-Z ISOMERS NOT OCCUR IN ALKANES?

  E-Z isomers occur because atoms can't rotate around C=C double bonds

  Alkenes contain C=C double bonds and alkanes don't so alkenes can form E-Z isomers but alkanes can't
