Axial and equatorial bonds
I just want to make sure I know the difference between axial and equatorial bonds. So axial are either vertically up or down, and equatorial are diagonal in order to form the 109.5 degree bond angles for the sp3 carbons in cyclohexane?

Re: Axial and equatorial bonds
Yes, axial are the ones that are vertical while equitorial (think equator) are the horizontal-ish ones
