Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group A and B are trans to each other, meaning they are on opposite sides of the double bond. Additionally, they are gauche to each other, meaning they are adjacent and have a 60-degree dihedral angle. However, they are not cis, as cis means they would be on the same side of the double bond. They are also not anti or eclipsed, which refer specifically to the orientation of substituents on a cyclohexane ring.
