The chair conformation is the most stable conformer. At 298 K (25 °C), 99.99% of all molecules in a cyclohexane solution adopt this conformation. The symmetry group is D 3d. All carbon centers are equivalent.
A is thus the most stable conformation &, of all the other conformations, occurs most often in room temperature. Valleys A & B are local energy minima & A is global minima. A & B can thus be classified as conformers.
The chair conformation minimizes both angle strain and torsional strain by having all carbon-carbon bonds at 110.9° and all hydrogens staggered from one another. [2] The conformational changes that occur in a cyclohexane ring flip take place over several stages. Structure D (10.8 kcal/mol) is the highest energy transition state of the process.

In addition, cyclohexane conformations can be used to indicate if the molecule has any 1,3 diaxial-interactions which are steric interactions between axial substituents on the 1,3, and 5 carbons. [7] Chair conformation of beta-D-Glucose The cyclohexane conformations in relation to the potential energy at each conformation
2: half-chair (highest in energy) 3: twist-boat 4: boat When ring flip happens completely from chair-to-chair, hydrogens that were previously axial (blue H) turn equatorial & equatorial ones (red H) turn axial. Pink and orange arrows show how one can imagine how carbons are being "pushed" as one conformation turns into another.
3D structure A Newman projection is a drawing that helps visualize the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule. [ 1 ] This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes.
