It should be in such a conformation that the ethyl group is at the e-bond position or, in other words, a more horizontal position.

Is boat or half chair form of cyclohexane more stable?

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.

Which conformation, axial or equatorial, is more stable in a cyclohexane chair conformation?

The equatorial conformation is more stable in a cyclohexane chair conformation.


Which orientation, equatorial or axial, is more stable in terms of energy for a substituent in a cyclohexane chair conformation?

The equatorial orientation is more stable in terms of energy for a substituent in a cyclohexane chair conformation.


What is the most stable configuration of cyclohexane and why?

The most stable configuration of cyclohexane is the chair conformation due to its lower energy and absence of steric hindrance between the hydrogen atoms. In the chair conformation, all carbon-carbon bonds are staggered, resulting in a more stable geometry compared to other conformations like the boat or twist-boat.


Is chloroform miscible with water or with cyclohexane?

Chloroform is miscible with water, forming a homogenous liquid mixture due to its polar nature. However, it is not miscible with cyclohexane, as cyclohexane is nonpolar and does not form a stable mixture with polar compounds like chloroform.


Why cyclohexane disslove in dichloromethane?

Cyclohexane dissolves in dichloromethane due to similar intermolecular forces between the two substances. Both cyclohexane and dichloromethane are non-polar molecules, which allows them to mix together and form a homogenous solution. This results in the molecules of cyclohexane being surrounded by the molecules of dichloromethane, creating a stable solution.


Is cyclohexane flammable or not?

Cyclohexane is flammable.


Is cyclohexane ionic covalent molecular or covalent network?

Cyclohexane is a molecular covalent compound. It is made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms held together by covalent bonds. This means that the atoms share electrons to form stable molecules.


Is sodium chloride solubility in cyclohexane?

No, sodium chloride is not soluble in cyclohexane.


Is cyclohexane an ester?

Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a cycloalkane, not an esther.


Is cyclohexane flat?

No: cyclohexane can exist in a few different conformations, none of which are planar. The most stable conformation is one that looks like a chair.Other conformations include the boat and (more rarely - usually only as an intermediate) twisted boat conformations.The reason why cyclohexane in not flat is because its ring carbons are sp3 hybridised and hence they are at their lowest energy when the angle between substituents in 109.5°. In a perfectly flat hexagon the C-C angles would be 120°, thus incurring a hypothetical 11° of ring strain.Therefore, by "puckering" into the chair conformation, cyclohexane attains the structure of lowest potential energy.
