I think you means #"alicyclic compounds...."#

Explanation:

And #"alicyclic chemistry"# refers to CYCLIC hydrocarbons that contains 1 or 2 or more degrees of unsaturation.

Given a single 6-membered ring, and two substituents, i.e. #C_6H_10R_2#, the #R# groups can be #"cis"# or #"trans"# with respect to each other and the plane of the ring...

You should examine actual models of the substituted cyclphexyl ring and establish for yourself for the possibility of axial versus equatorial disposition of substituents, and the possibility of cis or trans isomers in a disubstituted cyclohexyl ring.....
