  1. (organic chemistry, physical chemistry) One of two possible conformers of cyclohexane rings (the other being boat), shaped roughly like a chair.

A cyclohexane in chair conformation can be simply called a chair as a noun! I did not make this edit, it was added all the way back in 2009 by a user called equinox, and received 133 upvotes from the Wiktionary community.

@mods I want to reopen the poll, can someone do that?

@100Anonymous until when?

@shankypanky Not needed now, thanks!

Could have left this up a bit longer.

@WilliamGunn I saw a significant margin, so yeah closed it.

@100Anonymous The market was fun, resolving it quickly with a flash poll was less fun.
