Concept introduction:
A rotational energy barrier between two conformations is the difference in energy between the beginning conformation and the highest energy conformation through which the molecule must pass to arrive at the ending conformation. At room temperature, staggered conformations of ethane constantly interconvert through rotation about the C-C single bond.
Electron repulsions between atoms or groups of atoms that are not directly bonded together but occupy the same space results in the increase in energy, which is known as steric strain.

- This problem considers the conformational isomers of 2-methyl-butane shown below. The label for each carbon is indicated in red. Also shown is the Newman projection for the bond between carbons 2 and 3. The Newman projection is shown at its 0o position. The angle increases with clockwise rotation of the bonds on carbon 2. Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the lowest energy? (select all that apply) Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the highest energy? (select all that apply). Which rotation angle(s) has(have) a local anergy minima that is(are) not the lowest energy possible? (select all that apply).arrow_forwardDescribe with words how you would draw the curved arrow(s) to get to the more stable resonance form for the left-hand pair. Be sure to include how many curved arrows are needed and what atom (or bond) the electrons are coming from or going to. Do the same for the resonance pair on the right-hand side. more stable more stablearrow_forwardFor the same molecule, which of the images corresponds to the correct Newman projection along the indicated bond?
