Constructing and Manipulating a Physical Model of Cyclohexane
Description:
This video demonstrates how to manipulate a physical cyclohexane model to form chair and boat conformations. Follow along, pausing the video as needed, and adjust your model to generate the configurations yourself. Keep practicing until you can confidently create and convert between chair and boat configurations. This practice is helpful for building in your mind a 3D visualization of the molecule and the strain it experiences.
