Table showing how different conformers and substitutions compare to each other and why the boat conformation of cyclohexane is higher energy than the chair conformation.
Questions and Answers for the course .
This course will help students to understand and write Newman projections for straight chain organic molecules as well as writing conformations for different cyclohexane chair derivatives . Students should be able to complete the course and solve similar problems with other organic molecules. This examples that are used in the video lectures are very common and this has been explained with extra clarity details easy enough for students to understand.
