Chapter 4, Problem 4.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given alkenes, the ones that can exist as double bond stereoisomers are to be stated and their stereocenters are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The stereoisomers of the double bond are cis-trans and E-Z isomers. These configurations of the alkenes arise from the arrangement of groups on both sides of the group respective to each other. For the alkene to be a stereocenter two groups on both side of the double bond must be different from each other.
