I'm reading that the chair conformation of cyclohexane (staggered) has C-C-C bond angles of 111^o. What does that mean? I don't understand that. I'm looking at the ball-and-stick model, but I'm trying to figure out what it's exactly referring to in the model.

Is it the vertex angle I drew out that is being referred to?

111.jpg should be right.

This concerns all C-C-C angles of the six-membered ring.

your figure seems to be not understandable

That's ok, because I'm not sure how to ask.

I know that the hexagon bends at its carbons. What I'm trying to figure out if the interior angles stay at 111^o degrees all the time. When cyclohexane changes its conformations does it keeps its interior angles at 111 degrees?

What about cyclohexane is 111 degrees? I see the 3D model, but it's not blatently obvious what is exactly 111^o in the diagram.

You can look at the Boat Conformation just like a Chair Conformation, just that instead of one carbon above and one below, both are above/below the plane of the four other carbon atoms. I suspect that it is still 111 degrees, or close to it.
