Transcribed Image Text:The image displays four chemical structures labeled A, B, C, and D. In each structure, a cyclohexane ring is depicted with two substituents.
**Structure A:**
- The cyclohexane ring has a chlorine atom (Cl) and a bromine atom (Br) attached.
- The chlorine atom is depicted with a solid wedge, indicating it is in the axial position.
- The bromine atom is depicted with a solid wedge, indicating it is also in the axial position.
**Structure B:**
- The cyclohexane ring has two bromine atoms (Br) attached.
- Both bromine atoms are depicted with dashed wedges, indicating they are in equatorial positions.
**Structure C:**
- The cyclohexane ring has a chlorine atom (Cl) and a bromine atom (Br) attached.
- The chlorine atom is depicted with a solid wedge, indicating it is in the axial position.
- The bromine atom is depicted with a dashed wedge, indicating it is in the equatorial position.
**Structure D:**
- The cyclohexane ring has two bromine atoms (Br) attached.
- One bromine atom is depicted with a solid wedge, indicating it is in the axial position.
- The other bromine atom is depicted with a dashed wedge, indicating it is in the equatorial position.
These structures illustrate different stereochemical configurations of substituted cyclohexanes.
