Between the cis and trans configuration of 1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane, which is the most stable stereoisomer and configuration? To prove your argument, use your models or a modelling software to model cis- and trans-1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane (show all the hydrogens and ensure proper chair conformation) and use arrows to show where steric strain occurs. Include these photos in your answer.
