Whereas many fully unsaturated rings are very nearly planar, their saturated or partially saturated analogs, containing tetrahedrally coordinated atoms, are necessarily three-dimensional. This frequently gives rise to a preferred orientation of the atoms in a molecule, differing from other possible orientations (conformers) by rotation about single bonds. Thus, cyclohexane exists predominantly in the chair form, although boat and twist forms of cyclohexanes are also known. 3, record 6, English, - boat%20conformation
