Definitions:

Twisted Boat Conformation

A less-strained conformation of a cyclohexane ring compared to the boat conformation, where the carbons are twisted to reduce steric strain.

Cyclohexane

A cyclic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H12, consisting of a ring of six carbon atoms.

Torsional Strain

The resistance that occurs when molecules twist about their bonds, leading to a decrease in stability due to the repulsion between electrons in eclipsed conformations.

Newman Projection

is a way to visualize the spatial arrangement of bonds from the perspective of looking down the bond axis between two carbon atoms in a molecule.
