Which of the following cycloalkanes show cis-trans isomerism? For each that does, draw both isomers.
(a) Methylcyclopentane          (b) 1,1-Dimethylcyclobutane
(c) 1,3-Dimethylcyclobutane

 

Strategy
For a cycloalkane to show cis-trans isomerism, it must have at least two substituents, each on a different carbon of the ring.
