what type of bond does cyclohexane have
1 Note that in chair cyclohexane, there are two different types of C-H bonds, and thus two chemically different types of hydrogens. 2  The C-H bonds which point vertically upward or downward are called axial. 3  There are 6 of these, 3 upward and 3 downward bonds, and they alternate up/down/up, etc., around the ring. The ground state conformation of cyclohexane is a fully staggered conformation which is shaped somewhat like a chair. 2  In this conformation there is no torsional strain at all, and as we shall see later, no strain of any kind.
