If all the four groups/atoms’ attached to $C=C$ double bond are different, then cis and trans nomenclature fails in such cases and a new nomenclature called $E$ and $Z$ system of nomenclature replace it.
The group/atom attached to carbon-carbon double bond is given to higher rank, whose atomic weight is higher. If two higher ranked group are across, it is called $E$ form (E stands for the German word entgegen meaning there by opposite) and the two higher ranked groups are on the same side, they are called $Z$-form (Z stands for German word Zusummen meaning there by on the same side.)
If the first atom is common in the groups, then the priority is given to the second atom in the group.
