To solve the question, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of Butane Butane (C4H10) has two terminal methyl groups (CH3) and two methylene groups (CH2) in between. The molecular formula can be represented as CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3. ### Step 2: Identify the Staggered Forms Butane can exist in different conformations. The two staggered forms are: 1. **Anti conformation**: where the two methyl groups are opposite each other (180° apart). ...
