### Analysis of the Most Stable Form of Trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane**Question:**Consider the molecule **trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane**.**What can you say about the _most stable_ form of this molecule?****Options:**1. The ethyl is axial and the methyl is equatorial.2. The methyl is axial and the ethyl is equatorial.3. Both substituents are axial.4. Both substituents are equatorial.### Explanation of StabilityIn cyclohexane chair conformations:- **Axial positions** are aligned perpendicular to the plane of the ring, alternating up and down along the ring structure.- **Equatorial positions** are aligned roughly parallel to the plane of the ring and extend outward from the ring, alternating slightly above and below the plane.Substituents prefer to occupy the equatorial position due to reduced 1,3-diaxial interactions (steric hindrance). For **trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane**:- Each substituent prefers the equatorial position to minimize steric strain.- In the trans configuration, the substituents lie on opposite sides of the cyclohexane ring.**Most Stable Form:**To achieve minimal steric hindrance and maximize stability, the correct answer would be:4. Both substituents are equatorial. (minimizing steric interactions)**Note:**A diagram or model would significantly enhance the understanding of the spatial orientation and confirm that both substituents being equatorial reduces potential strain the most effectively.

List the name and position for each substituent in this organic molecule on a separate row of the table below: CH3 Q-CH₂-CH3 CH3–CH–CH2–CH-CH=CH2–CH2–CH3 CH₂-CH₂-CH3 Your answer for the name column should be just one word. In the position column, write the number of the carbon where the substituent is attached to the parent chain (which has been highlighted for you). Note for advanced students: You may assume that the parent chain is numbered from left-to-right in this molecule. You can add more rows to the table if you need them. name Add Row position 0 X
