Interpretation:
The correct option among the given options has to be chosen.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are represented shortly by the molecular formula and structural formula. Each and every compound has its own molecular formula. Compounds can have same molecular formula but not same structural formula.
Isomers are the compounds that have same molecular formula but different structural formula. The main difference lies in the way the atoms are arranged in the structure. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties even when they have same molecular formula. This is known as Isomerism.
If there is difference only in the connectivity of the atoms in the molecule, then it is known as constitutional isomerism. The isomers are known as constitutional isomers. They will have same molecular formula and same
For constitutional isomers to be present in cycloalkane, a minimum of four carbon atoms has to be present.
Cycloalkanes can also exhibit stereoisomerism. The difference between constitutional isomerism and stereoisomerism is that, the result of difference in connectivity of carbon atoms is known as constitutional isomerism and the result of differences in configuration is known as stereoisomerism. Stereoisomers are compounds that possess same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms but different orientations of atoms in space. Cis isomers are the one where the two substituted groups on different carbon atom are present above or below the plane or the ring of carbon atoms. Trans isomers are the one where the two substituted groups on different carbon atom are present one above and one below the plane or the ring of carbon atoms.
