Expert Solution
Step 1: Geometrical isomerism
  1. Geometrical isomerism or cis-trans isomerism can occur in cycloalkanes like cyclobutane.
  2. The molecule is a cis isomer when both the groups attached to the ring have the same stereochemistry that is both are above the plane or both the groups are below the plane of the ring.
  3. If both the groups have opposite stereochemistry, that is one group is above the plane and other group is below the plane of the ring, then it is trans isomer.
