**Activity: Constructing Chair Conformations of trans-1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane****Objective:**Using your molecular modeling kit, construct trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and explore its chair conformations.**Instructions:**1. **Build the Molecule:** - Use your molecular modeling kit to create the structure of trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane.2. **Draw the Conformation:** - In the space provided, draw one of the chair conformations of trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. - Identify and label the methyl groups on your diagram as either axial (\(a\)) or equatorial (\(e\)).3. **Number the Carbons:** - Number the carbon atoms in the cyclohexane ring sequentially.4. **Perform a Chair Flip:** - Execute a chair flip of the cyclohexane ring. - Draw the new chair conformation resulting from the flip, maintaining the correct axial or equatorial positions for the methyl groups.**Note:** Understanding the positions of axial and equatorial groups and how they shift during a chair flip is essential for grasping the stability and reactivity of cyclohexane derivatives.

In the chair conformation of cyclohexane, there are two types of hydrogen atoms, equatorial and…
