A spacial arrangements of atoms which can be converted into one another by rotation arround a C-C single bond are called conformations.
ii) Comapare the stabilities of staggered and eclipsed conformations.

A spacial arrangements of atoms which can be converted into one another by rotation arround a C-C single bond are called conformations. i) Represent Sawhorse and Newman projection formulae of staggered and eclipsed conformation of ethane.

Conformations are those special arrangements which are obtained by rotation around sigma bonds. Draw the staggered and eclipsed conformation of ethane.

Isomers which can be interconverted by rotation of the moleucle around single bond are (1) Geometrical isomers (2) Enantiomers (3) Conformers (4) Diastereomers

Controlled oxidation of alkanes in the presence of suitable catalysts give a variety of products. Free rotation about a carbon - carbon single bond is permitted in an alkane molecule. What are conformers? Draw the structure of the eclipsed and staggered conformers of ethane in Sawhorse and Newman projection and explain their relative stability.

Conformations are those special arrangements which are obtained by rotation around sigma bonds. Why does cis-2-butene have a higher boiling point than trans-2-butene?

Free rotation is possible with respect to a C-C bond in the case of alkanes. a) The repulsive interaction between the adjacent bonds in a conformation is called…...

In the above compound, C_2 is rotated clockwise 120^@ about C_2-C_3 bond. The resulting conformer is:

An ionic compound made up of atoms 'X' and 'Y' has a face centred cubic arrangement in which atoms 'X' are at the corners and atom 'Y' are at the face centres. If one of the atoms is missing from the C0rner. What is the simplest formula of the compound?
