If cyclohexane was planar, its structure would look like the picture to the left. All the carbons in cyclohexane are sp3 hybridized, so the ideal bond angle for a tetrahedral atom would be 109.5 degrees. However, the planarity of the ring would force the carbons to have bond angles of 120 degrees, which makes it unstable. There would ................
