Model 2. Cyclohexane Chair Conformation Another helpful way to drawn a non-planar example of cyclohexane is to draw its most stable (lowest energy) conformation called a chair conformation. III 8. Build two models of cyclohexane. The chair conformation is the most stable conformation of cyclohexane because all of the bond angles around the carbon atoms are at 109.5ª and all carbon atoms are in the more stable staggered conformation. Cyclohexane is the only cyclic structure that allows all the bond angles around each carbon to be 109.5", thus is the only ring that adopts a true chair conformation. Form the chair conformation with both of your cyclohexane models. Look down each carbon carbon bond and verify that all carbons are in a staggered conformation. 9. 10. Because of this conformation, there are two types of positions a group can occupy when it is attached to a cyclohexane chair, either axial (A) or equatorial (E). 11. Axial hydrogens alternate straight up and straight down as we…

Why do alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes have a relatively low boiling point? O They have no large intermolecular forces holding them together. O They have no diple moments or polarity. O They have a lot of electron density in a very small amout of space.

Choose the statement that is incorrect about rings. اختر احدى الاجابات А. Planar cyclobutane is its most stable conformation. В. Planar cyclopentane would have small angle strain but severe torsional strain. C. The chair conformation of cyclohexane has no angle or torsional strain. D. Cyclopropane has the greatest angle strain. Е. The chair conformation has less torsional strain and fewer nonbonded interactions than the twist boat conformation.
