It is followed by trans \(-1,\,3-\) Dimethylcyclohexane where one \(-C H_{3}\) group is equatorial and other is axial (Refer to Image \(II\))
Diaxial cis \(-1,\,3-\) Dimethylcyclohexane is less stable due to large amount of steric strain due to the interaction of axial - \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) groups. (Refer to Image \(III\) )
