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.

Hydrogen Atoms

The simplest type of atom, consisting of one proton and one electron, fundamental to the structure of organic molecules.
