Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) criteria, which allocate priority depending on atomic number, are used to establish substituent priority. It's Z if the highest priority groups are on the same side as each other, and E if they are on opposing sides.In organic chemistry, E and Z notations are crucial for describing the configuration of groups surrounding a double bond and for assisting in the understanding of the spatial orientation of molecules, especially when stereoisomerism is involved.
