Expert Solution

Step 1

A chair conformation is a way of showing a cyclohexane ring and its substituents. All bond angles are 109.5° and staggered to its adjacent carbon. It has equatorial and axial bonds. Equatorial bonds are perpendicular to the axis (up and down) of the ring, while axial bonds are parallel to the axis of the ring. In the figure below, axial is a and equatorial is e.
