**Title: E/Z Designation for Chemical Structures** **Introduction:** In organic chemistry, the E/Z designation is used to describe the configuration of double bonds in alkenes. Specifically, this nomenclature is used to distinguish between the different geometric isomers of alkenes and other compounds with double bonds. The E (entgegen) and Z (zusammen) notations describe the relative positions of substituents around the double bond. "E" corresponds to the substituents being on opposite sides, and "Z" corresponds to the substituents being on the same side. **Instructions:** Provide E/Z designations for the following structures. If E/Z designation does not apply, then write "none." Your answers should either be E, Z, or none. **Chemical Structures:** 1. **Structure (a):** - Image Description: A six-membered ring with a double bond between two of the carbon atoms. Attached to the ring are a hydroxyl group (OH), an amino group (NH2), and a ketone group (C=O). - E/Z Designation: [Box for Answer] 2. **Structure (b):** - Image Description: A six-membered ring with a double bond and two bromine (Br) atoms attached to the ring at different positions. - E/Z Designation: [Box for Answer] 3. **Structure (c):** - Image Description: A six-membered ring with a double bond and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached to one of the carbon atoms. - E/Z Designation: [Box for Answer] 4. **Structure (d):** - Image Description: A fused ring system with two double bonds. The ring has an aldehyde group (CHO), a ketone group (C=O), and a bromine (Br) atom attached at various positions. - E/Z Designation: [Box for Answer] **Notes:** - Consider the priority of the groups attached to each carbon of the double bond when determining the E/Z designation. - The following rules can be used to determine priority: Higher atomic numbers take precedence over lower ones. If two atoms directly attached to the double-bonded carbons are identical, move to the next atoms in the chain until a difference is found. **Conclusion:** Correctly identifying the E/Z configuration of alkenes is crucial for understanding their chemical behavior
