How do you know where to put the CH3 and Hydrogens on a cis and trans?
I can draw my expanded well, but need help knowing where to place the carbons and hydrogens. THANK YOU

Cis is Latin for same, and trans is Latin for opposite (roughly).
The former is trans, because the methyl groups are on opposite sides, and the latter is cis because the methyl groups are on the same side.
