Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas for cis- and trans-$\text{1, 2-dimethylcyclohexane}$ are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Those compounds which have same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called as isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
