a.
To determine:
The structure of both the cis and trans stereoisomers for the given compound using wedge-and-dash bonds.
Concept introduction:
Cis-Trans isomers come under the geometric isomerism and are a form of stereoisomerism. The prefix “cis” means “on the same side” and the prefix “trans” means “on opposite sides”.
When the heteroatom is cis then one heteroatom is at axial position and the other one is at equatorial position. When the heteroatom is trans, then both substituents are at equatorial position but are on the opposite sides of the ring with respect to each other.
The Trans isomers have high symmetry and are more stable than cis isomers.

Step 1: Draw the 2-dimensional structural formula for the molecule Step 2: Identify the carbon backbone (or skeleton) and any branches or side-chains in the structural formula as well as any functional groups such as halogen (group 17) atoms. Step 3: Identify groups of atoms along the carbon backbone in the 2-dimensional structural formula. Step 4: Re-draw the formula by replacing the identified groups of atoms in the 2-dimensional structural formula with their condensed structure, or semi-structural formula. Step 5: Remove single carbon-carbon covalent bonds from the backbone or skeleton (this step is not absolutely necessary). Step 6: If the molecule contains branches or side-chains: (a) condense the structure as for the carbon backbone (b) use parantheses (round brackets) to enclose groups of atoms attached to the chain (c) use a subscript number to indicate the number of times this…arrow_forward
