Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The given molecule must be rotated along C2 – C3 bond to obtain a conformation which have a plane of symmetry.
Concept introduction: A plane of symmetry is a plane which divides the molecule into two equal halves such that one half is the mirror image of the other.

Students have asked these similar questions
A molecule is achiral if it has a plane of symmetry in any conformation. Each of the attached conformations does not have a plane of symmetry, but rotation around a carbon–carbon bond forms a conformation that does have a plane of symmetry. Draw this conformation for each molecule.
Describe the most stable conformation of each ring and compare these conformations with the chair conformation of cyclohexane.
Draw all the conformers of the molecule on the right as Newman
projections sighted along the C3– C4 bond. Label the interactions present
in each conformer. Rank the conformers from lowest to highest energy
(some may be equal).
