  • E - Epposite

    Z - Zame Zide

  • "entgegen" maybe is better translated as "in opposition to". And right - "together" is written "zusammen" in german.. Keep on going.

  • the sound of ur voice comforts me that i will do well in chem <3

  • @Badushaz sal can! cgp books are good too

  • I'm so poor in chemistry... Can anybody help me?

  • Yes plz salman Khan, come to my house and teach me stuff

  • @dirtypritithings Same thing, some people write them in different ways.

  • "If I were to come over to your place and say, "name this molecule", the first thing you would do is say; What the f**k is Salman Khan doing at my house?"

  • Excellent video! But being a German speaker, I can't help but correct your pronunciation. "entgegen" is pronounced ent-GAY-gehn and is probably better translated as "against." "zusammen" is pronounced tsoo-SAH-mehn.

  • why is it not 2-butene

  • as I have learned you have to use E/Z configuration when there are 3 or 4 substituents bonded to the carbon with double bond??

  • I believe the E and Z naming convention is only used when there 3 or 4 substituents on the two double doubled carbons. If there are only one or two, then you would name the molecule cis or trans.
