Re: Chair and Boat Bond Angles
No, 109 degrees is the ideal bond angle for the sp3 hybridized carbons and so when the cyclohexane adopts different conformations in order to become more stable, the bond angles get closer to the ideal so when it is in the chair conformation, the bond angles are roughly 110.9 degrees.

Re: Chair and Boat Bond Angles
How do we figure out the c-c-c angles? Are we just expected to memorize them?
