What are the key differences between an E vs Z alkene and how do these differences impact the chemical properties of the molecule?

E and Z alkene isomers differ in the arrangement of substituents around the double bond. In E isomers, the higher priority substituents are on opposite sides of the double bond, while in Z isomers, they are on the same side. This impacts the molecule's chemical properties by affecting its stability, reactivity, and physical properties. The arrangement of substituents can influence the molecule's polarity, boiling point, and interactions with other molecules in reactions.
