Cyclohexane Chairs

Cyclohexane makes weird shapes! The most important is the chair conformation. Here we will learn how to draw cyclohexane chairs, how to flip them, the difference in energy between the two chair conformations, and between axial and equatorial substituents. Chairs are easy place to lose points on exams if you don't draw them just right!
