The energy that is present in the gasoline in your automobile's fuel tank is a. potential energy b. nuclear energy c. kinetic energy d. thermal energy

A. potential energy.
It can't be any of the above questions. When the automobile burns gas it converts the potential energy into chemical energy which intern gets converted into mechanical energy and then into kinetic energy.

I would have thought it would be Chemical potential energy, which is referring to the energy between the bonds in the molecule.
Hoped this helped.

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
