A. Build the ethane molecule. Rotate the molecule around the C-C bond to view the staggered and eclipsed conformers. Draw the sawhorse projection and the Newman projection in the table below. Sawhorse Newman Staggered Conformation Eclipsed Conformation B. Build the butane molecule (CH3CH2CH2CH3). Sighting down the C2-C3 bond, draw the Newman projections of the four conformers that correspond to the local maxima and minima in the energy diagram (i.e. gauche, anti, etc.). Draw the energy diagram and calculate the energy differences. The Y-axis is energy and the X-axis is degrees of rotation, which represents the dihedral angle between C1, C2 and C3. When rotating, keep C2 stationery, and rotate C3

Explain why the two molecules below cannot inter-convert without breaking the portion of thedouble bond.
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?
Draw the shapes of the following molecules and ions in 3-dimension. Show clearly any lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, state the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and name the shape of the molecule or ion. (a) CH3+, methyl carbocation (b) HOBr, bromic (I) acid (c) NCl3, nitrogen trichloride Provide everything stated in the instructions for each compound.
Please fill in the blank ! In part B, the difference is that the molecules have more than one atom with two or more attached neighbors. As molecules become larger and more complex, VSEPR theory does not attempt to create names for the overall geometries that result. Instead, we continue to consider the geometry about one central atom at a time. By giving the arrangement about each such atom in the larger structure, we can generate enough information to develop an overall picture. Thus, in your report for part B, you should determine which atoms have more than one bound neighbor, then repeat the procedure for part A. When deciding whether the molecules in part B are polar or nonpolar, focus on the molecule as a whole, not the geometry about a single atom. If the molecule is polar, draw a dipole arrow on your sketch indicating polarity.

Both NH3, NCl3, and NF3 are all polar.
