In this video, we meet our new, very stable friend cyclohexane. We'll talk about why cyclohexane is extremely stable and the different conformations cyclohexane takes on (chairs and boats specifically). Finally, we'll talk about how to find the most stable/unstable conformations when substituents are added to a cyclohexane ring.
