English: Cyclohexane chair flip (ring inversion) reaction. Structures of the significant conformations (A, B, C & D) of the reaction are shown & plotted against their ...
Carbon–hydrogen bonds that are axial in one configuration become equatorial in the other, and vice versa. At room temperature the two chair conformations rapidly equilibrate . The proton NMR spectrum of cyclohexane is a singlet at room temperature, with no separation into separate signals for axial and equatorial hydrogens.
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. Source for the conformation names & claim of lowest/highest energy:

This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes. A Newman projection visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom represented by the intersection of three lines (a dot) and the back atom as a circle.
Substituents on a cyclohexane ring prefer to reside in the equatorial position to the axial. The difference in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) between the higher energy conformation (axial substitution) and the lower energy conformation (equatorial substitution) is the A-value for that particular substituent.
