Question

How do you draw cycloalkanes?

Answer 1

Use a model!

Explanation:

The six-membered cyclohexyl ring is the one that most commonly causes problems in its depictions. You will note that if you get a model it `"naturally"` assumes a chair conformation. When the ring chair-flips axial substituents become equatorial substituents and vice versa. You should practise (i) making the model, and (ii) depicting it unambiguously on paper.
