In the next chapter we'll look at cycloalkanesâ€”saturated cyclic hydrocarbonsâ€”and weâ€™ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?
Following is a chair conformation of cyclohexane with the carbon atoms numbered 1 through 6. (a) Draw hydrogen atoms that are above the plane of the ring on carbons 1 and 2 and below the plane of the ring on carbon 4. (b) Which of these hydrogens are equatorial? Which are axial? (c) Draw the alternative chair conformation. Which hydrogens are equatorial? Which are axial? Which are above the plane of the ring? Which are below it?
Which cyclohexane matches the chair below?

Consider the following cyclohexane derivative: *Figure is the screenshot* a. Draw a chair conformation for the cyclohexane derivative above showing equatorial and axial positions at the carbon atoms bearing the substituents. b.
