<h3>What are Isomers ?</h3>
Isomers are compounds which have same empirical formula , same number of atoms are present but they have difference in arrangement if the atoms.
It is given that

Answer:
a) Both chairs conformers have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
b) One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
c) One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
d) Both chairs have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
e) Both chairs have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
(f) One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
Explanation:
Determine what the substituents would be
a) Cis-1,2- : Both chairs conformers have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
b) Trans-1,2- : One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
c) Cis-1,3- : One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
d) Trans-1,3- : Both chairs have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
e) Cis-1,4- : Both chairs have one of its substituents in an axial position and the other in an equatorial position
(f) Trans-1,4- : One chair conformer has both its substituents in an axial position while the other chair has its substituents in an equatorial position
