The eternal struggle between idealized chemical structures and reality! On the left, we've got that perfectly symmetrical benzene ring that organic chemistry textbooks love to show us. On the right? The actual chair conformation of cyclohexane that makes undergrads question their life choices. Just like the cartoon faces below - expectation vs. reality. Your professor draws that pristine hexagon, but when you try to visualize the actual 3D structure with those awkward axial and equatorial bonds... suddenly chemistry isn't so flat anymore. Turns out dimensional reality is just disappointing all around.
