Chair Conformations questions Assuming a chair conformation, which of the following configuration will always have one methyl group in the axial position and the other methyl group in the equatorial position? Which of the statements below correctly describes the chair conformations of trans-1,3-diethylcyclohexane. A) The lower energy chair conformation contains two equatorial ethyl groups. B) The lower energy chair conformation contains two axial ethyl groups. C) The two chair conformations are equal in energy. D) The higher energy chair conformation contains two axial ethyl groups. E) The higher energy chair conformation contains two equatorial ethyl groups. Which chair conformation of the cyclohexane derivative shown in the box below is the most stable?Explanation / Answer
1) C-Both 1,3 trans and 1,2 cis conformer
2- A-Lower energy chair conformation cotains both two equitorial
3 - B is the correct answer
