Definitions:

Axial Methyl

A methyl group attached to a cyclohexane ring in a position parallel to the axis of the ring, leading to higher steric strain compared to equatorial positions.

Equatorial Methyl

A methyl group bonded to a carbon atom in a cyclohexane ring being in a position that extends outward from the perimeter of the ring, reducing steric strain.

Axial Positions

Locations on a molecule, especially in cyclic compounds like cyclohexane, that are perpendicular to the plane of the ring, typically leading to higher steric strain.

Cis-1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane

An isomer of dimethylcyclohexane where the two methyl groups are located on the same side of the cyclohexane ring.
