Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Structures
Examine the two structures provided. Both are cyclohexane rings in chair conformations with substituents.
Step 2: Determine the Substituent Positions
Identify the positions of the substituents on each cyclohexane ring. The first structure has a substituent in the axial position on carbon 1 and another substituent in the equatorial position on carbon 4. The second structure has the same substituents but in different positions.
Step 3: Compare the Configurations
Compare the configurations of the substituents on the cyclohexane rings. The substituents are on different carbons and in different positions (axial vs. equatorial), indicating that the two structures are not identical.
