Methylcyclohexane chair conformers I am trying to create the molecule of the methylcyclohexane in the equatorial and axial conformers. I read in this site about the chair conformation. My molecule looks like the following picture (created in Molden)



Can someone point out if this is actually good? I am quite doubtful about the "mid" carbons, should they be push to the center of the molecule like in the drawings in the website?
It's a little hard to tell from this angle, but that looks like a pretty sensible representation of the axial methyl geometry given on the website you linked to.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "push to the center of the molecule", though.



ETA: These might help a little more: this isn't exactly the most accurate geometry, but it's a pretty good representation.
