- In hydrocarbon: Stereoisomerism
Methyl groups in 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane, for example, may be on the same (cis) or opposite (trans) sides of the plane defined by the ring. The resulting two substances are different compounds, each having its own properties such as boiling point (abbreviated bp here):
