Question

23. The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is...
(a) Haworth form
(b) Boat form
(c) Newman form
(d) Chair form.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is the chair form.

The C-C-C bonds are very close to 109.5

o

, so it is almost free of angle strain.

It is also a fully staggered conformation and so is free of torsional strain.

Option B is correct.

Answer 2

chair conformation

The chair conformation is the most stable conformer. At 25 °C, 99.99% of all molecules in a cyclohexane solution adopt this conformation

option b
