Which of the cycloalkane is not capable to show cis-trans isomerism ?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The correct structure is 1,1-dimethylcyclobutane : both CH₃ groups are on the same ring carbon, so no two ring carbons bear substituents and cis-trans isomerism is impossible. The other three compounds are 1,2- or 1,3-disubstituted cycloalkanes, each of which exists as cis and trans isomers.

Ans. 1,1-Dimethylcyclobutane
