Chapter 21, Problem 42E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis and trans isomers of $1$, $2$-dimethylcyclohexane and the cyclic structural and geometric isomers of ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}\text{F}$ are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Structural isomerism occurs when two compounds have same number of atoms but the spatial arrangement of the atoms is different from each other.  These isomers have the same formula but their properties are different. In cis-isomers, the substituents of the double bonded carbons are on the same side of the double bond but in trans isomer, they are on opposite side of double bond.

To determine: The cis and trans isomers of $1$, $2$-dimethylcyclohexane and the cyclic structural and geometric isomers of ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}\text{F}$.
