Question

Why chair conformation of cyclohexane is more stable than boat conformation

Answer 1

This is a common and therefore important ring system, what should you know ?

How to draw cyclohexanes so you can convey your knowledge !

The most stable conformation is the chair

There are other less stable conformations such as the boat and the twist boat.

Ring flipping interconverts chair conformations.

There are two types of substituent positions around a chair cyclohexane axial and equatorial.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chair conformation of cyclohexane is more stable than boat form because in chair conformaion the C-H bonds are equally axial and equatorial, i.e., out of twelve C-H bonds, six are axial and six are equatorial and each carbon has one axial and one equatorial C-H bond.
