Draw structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane

Key concepts

Cis,trans isomers

Have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity of their atoms, but the arrangement of their atoms in space cannot be interconverted by rotation about single bonds.

Cis substituents are on the same side of the ring.

Trans substituents are on opposite sides of the ring.  

Step 1 of 2

Here we need to draw structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane.

Cis substituents are on the same side of the ring, Trans substituents are on opposite sides of the ring.
