Answer true or false.

(a) Cis- and trans-cycloalkanes have the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms.

(b) A cis isomer of a cycloalkane can be converted to its trans isomer by rotation about an appropriate carbon–carbon single bond.

(c) A cis isomer of a cycloalkane can be converted to its trans isomer by exchange of two groups at a stereocenter in the cis-cycloalkane.

(d) Configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the atoms or groups of atoms at a stereocenter.

(e) Cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,4- dimethylcyclohexane are classified as conformations.
