!!! warning
There should be a hydrogen attached to the nitrogen at the end of the amine.
### E-Z isomers
### E/Z isomers
E/Z isomers are a generalised form of cis-trans isomers, where priority is determined by atomic number. If both sides with the higher atomic number are on the **same** side, the isomer is a Z-isomer (German: *ze zame zide*). E/Z isomers are placed at the beginning surrounded by parentheses.
!!! example
(Z)-2-bromo-1-chloro-1-fluoroethene:

If the atoms are of equal priority, the sum of atomic numbers that they are directly connected to are compared (double bonds count twice), repeating as necessary.
!!! example
(Z)-1-chloro-1-fluoro-2-methyl-1-butene (left) and (E)-1-chloro-1-fluoro-2-methyl-1-butene (right).

If there are multiple E/Z isomers, they are separated by commas and numbered according to their earliest position on the main chain.
!!! example
(2Z, 3E)-R
