This answer applies to the four named, unsubstituted rings in Georgia Tech Quiz 3-1, question 4, compared in their preferred conformations. It does not mean every cyclohexane conformation is unstrained: boat and twist-boat forms have higher energy. No numerical strain energies are inferred from a flat ring drawing.
