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. Draw the flipped chair conformation showing the axial and equatorial position at the carbon atoms that bear the substituents. Determine which structure is more stable(8a or 8b)? Describe and give your reasons.
