Yes, the chair confirmation of cyclohexane is more stable than the boat confirmation. The decreased stability of the of the boat conformation is caused by the nonbonding interactions generated by the close proximity of the 2 hydrogen atoms on c1 and c4 and by the eclipsing of hydrogens along the c2-c3 and c5-c6 bonds.

What is the difference between chair and boat conformation?
Chair form (of hexane) is more stable configuration because out of eight hydrogen four form the equatorial bonds and four axial bonds so its a symmetrical structure and repulsive force among the hydrogens is minimum.
What is the difference structure and configuration of glucose?
The linear glucose molecule could form a pyranose ring (cyclic formation) by the reaction between the aldehyde group (on C1) and the hydroxyl group (on C5). The configuration could be either a chair form (more stable) or a boat form (less stable), as an alpha-D-glucopyranose or a beta-D-glucopyranose.
Does cyclohexane and hexane form a solution?
Propane, being a GAS but an aliphatic hydrocarbon is soluble in cyclohexane, which is a liquid and a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon. .
How many monochloroisomers of cyclohexane are possible?
Cyclohexane can form only one mono-substituted alkyl chloride. Because cyclohexane is a symmetrical molecule with only a single type of carbon atom and no stereoisomers will be formed because there are no asymmetric centers, the product will be the same no matter which carbon the chlorine atom attaches to.
The noble gases do not readily form compounds because they are or are not chemically stable?
they are stable
What is the most stable configuration of cyclohexane and why?
chair form as the steric repulsions is minimum
Which form of cyclohexane is nonaromatic?
All forms/conformations existing in nature of cyclohexane are non-aromatic including boat and chair conformations.Note: Planar or "flat" cyclohexane isanti-aromaticand does not exist in nature due to high instability.
Can benzene exist in the boat and chair confirmation?
no because unlike cyclohexane which has all single bonds, benzene alterates with double and single bonds. therefore it does not want to freely form the boat and chair conformations
Is cyclo hexane planar?
No, each carbon will form a three dimensional tetrahedral bonding.
What is the difference between chair and boat conformation?
Chair form (of hexane) is more stable configuration because out of eight hydrogen four form the equatorial bonds and four axial bonds so its a symmetrical structure and repulsive force among the hydrogens is minimum.
Does cyclohexane produce ions in water?
Cyclohexane doesn't form ions in water.

What is the condensed structural formula of cyclohexane?
Cyclohexane which is a cycloalkanes, has a structural formula of C6H12. It may be written in a condensed form as (CH2)6.
What is the verb form of chair?
Chair
What is the possessive form of chair?
chair's
Is chair is a verb?
Chair can be a noun or a verb: "He wanted to chair the committee" Verb form "She wanted a new chair for the living room" Noun form
