Hi
I am having trouble with geometrical isomerism
suppose that two four membered rings lie on either side of a carbon and those rings are additionally attached to two methyl group
will the structure show geometrical isomerism??

This is ambiguous, please draw the structure.

You can use smiles (see here) or add a picture as an attachment by pressing the "additional options..." button underneath the reply text box.

Do you mean something like this?

C1CC(C)C1=C=C2C(C)CC2

yes i mean that structure
CC2CCC2C(C1CCC1)(C1CCC1)C3CCC3C

WHAT ABOUT THIS STRUCTURE POSTED ABOVE

Can you tell me how to generally deal with problems which have 4 C ring structure attached to a carbon?

Start by looking up the definition of geometric isomerism - what is it?
