Question

The configuration of the chiral centre and the geometry of the double bond in the following molecule can be described by (A) R and E (B) S and E (C) R and Z (D) S and Z

Since priority sequence is left to right, therefore compound will exhibit configuration.
Since both heavier and lighter groups are on the same side wrt

C = C

bond, therefore compound will show

Z

-configuration.

Since priority sequence is left to right, therefore compound will exhibit configuration. Since both heavier and lighter groups are on the same side wrt C=C bond, therefore compound will show Z-configuration.

Since priority sequence is left to right, therefore compound will exhibit configuration.
Since both heavier and lighter groups are on the same side wrt $C = C$ bond, therefore compound will show $Z$ -configuration.
