**Title: Exploring Isomer Structures in Cyclohexane Compounds**

**Objective:**

Draw the isomer of the compound shown below that can have all the groups equatorial with wedges and/or dashes AND in the chair and flipped chair conformations (so 3 structures total).

**Chemical Structure:**

The image depicts a cyclohexane ring with three substituents:

- **CH₃** (Methyl group)
- **Cl** (Chlorine atom)
- **OH** (Hydroxyl group)

These substituents are attached to three adjacent carbon atoms in the cyclohexane ring.

**Instructions:**

1. Use the provided cyclohexane structure as a starting point.
2. Draw the isomer where each substituent can occupy an equatorial position.
3. Represent the groups using wedges and/or dashes to indicate orientation.
4. Create a total of three structures: one for the regular chair conformation and two for the flipped chair conformation.

**Learning Outcome:**

By completing this exercise, students will understand the concept of chair conformations, the significance of axial and equatorial positions in cyclohexane rings, and how to draw and differentiate structural isomers using stereochemical notation.
