The video tutorial explains the bull conformation of cyclohexane, highlighting its instability due to steric and torsional strain caused by flagpole hydrogen atoms. It compares the stability of different conformations, emphasizing that the chair conformation is the most stable. The tutorial also discusses the transition to the twist boat conformation, which reduces steric strain. Additional resources and practice problems are available for further learning.
