Question
Chapter 4, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The most stable isomer between cis- and trans-decalin needs to be determined and the energy difference between the two needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: The most stable conformation of a compound is the one in which there is less or no steric hinderance. The position of the bulkier group plays an important role in this case. The bulkier group at equatorial position is comparatively more stable than at axial position.

Your chemistry professor draws a number of molecules on the board: (1) CH4 ; (2) H2C=CH2 ; (3) H2C=C=CH2 ; and (4) H2C=C=C=CH2. You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional.
Answer ALL of the following questions.
What are the specific orbital overlaps (i.e., sp3-sp3) that are in each of the molecules?
What are the bond angles for each central atom in each molecule?
Which molecules are planar and which are non-planar?
