Question
 Draw the more stable chair conformation for attached trisubstitutedcyclohexane.
Expert Solution
Introduction

Stable chair conformations are more stable when there is no steric hindrance. Also, static repulsion can decrease stability. So to draw a stable structure avoid overlapping of the same charge cloud which increases the steric repulsion.
