Staggered conformation is more stable than eclipsed from because there is less repulsion between bond pairs of electrons.
Draw the cls and trans structures of hex-2-ene.

Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.pt. and why?

The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory helps in predicting the shapes of covalent molecules b) A molecule of the type AB_3E_2 has three bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. Predict the most stable arrangement of electron pairs in this molecule

The Valence Shell Electron pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory helps in predicting the shapes of covalent molecules. A molecule of the type, AB_3E_2 has three bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. Predict the most stable arrangement of electron pairs in the molecule.

Assertion: H _(2) molecule is more stable than He-H molecule. Reason: The antibonding electron in He-H molecule decreases the bond order and thereby stability

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.
