A) E
B) Z
C) neither E nor Z

Carbon-Carbon Double Bond

A strong chemical bond consisting of two carbon atoms connected by double bonds, conferring rigidity and planarity to molecules like alkenes.

Geometry

The branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogs.

Alkene

A hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond, characterized by the formula CnH2n for acyclic alkenes, and known for their reactivity and role in organic synthesis.

  • Gain an understanding of the concept and identify the E/Z configuration in alkenes.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The alkene has two different substituents on each carbon atom of the double bond, so it cannot be categorized as either E or Z.
