Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
1 answer:
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.
For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

Explanation: In IUPAC, E-Z convention is given for describing the cis - trans notation to the isomers. According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.
If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as Z-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as E-form.
We are given (Z)-3-bromo-6-methyl-2-heptene, in this the highest priority groups are bromine on one side and methyl- group on another side.
