Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Dont have the key yet but I was getting 10
Send your process tho
chiral carbon bhi toh hai....
I am getting 8.
2 chiral carbon. For asymmetrical structures: 4 isomers. 2 geometrical isomer showing double bonds: 4 isomers. 4+4=8
my mistake. 16 would be the answer
ig it could be done like this

it is not symmetrical compound
cyclohexane exists in non planar form.
also we can say there are many sp³ carbon, making it non planar and no symmetry of plane would exist.
i used formulas given by ns sir and it indeed gave 10
this came in my test and am not aware of the correct ans as of now
it doesnt have pos but it is symmetrical (ie same naming from both the ends)
I checked with my teacher and she said it has 10 stereoisomers
proper explanation of manual counting if anyone wants

so there are total 10 unique stereomers out of which two are optically inactive ( cis R S cis and trans S R trans ) and rest are optically active
Could you plz elaborate that y it's not symm?
Is the method I solved with, correct? @hardcoreisdead @Prachi @S2_zBro#8929
Yup, that's the method most use
But if we wanna understand why it's 10 then we can see what @hardcoreisdead has shared
Okay, thank you @Prachi
yeah
otherwise theres a formula based approach jismein yeh sab nahi sochna padega
but u shud know the long way too
marking it solved now
