Chapter 4, Problem 65IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chair conformation existence is needed to be explained for cyclohexene molecule.

Concept introduction:

Chair conformer: chair conformer is a stable conformer for cyclohexane compound. In this chair conformer two positions are important for substitutions one is equatorial and other one axial position. Axial positions are parallel to the axis of ring while equatorial positions are perpendicular to the axis of the ring.

Example:

In chair conformation all carbon atoms are ${\text{sp}}^{\text{3}}$ hybridized atoms that mean all are having Td (tetrahedral) shape.

To give: The hybridization of carbon atoms present in cyclohexene molecule.
