Interpretation:
The reason for the puckered shape of cyclohexane and
Concept introduction:
Cyclohexane is a cyclic group of
The structure of cyclohexane is as follow:

To draw electron dot structure of trifluoromethyl methyl ether, you have to get aware about the valence electron of carbon, fluorine and oxygen.
The valence shall electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a simple and useful way to predict and rationalize the shape of molecule. The angle between atoms can also be find out.
