Dihedral angle, O
The dihedral angle (or rotation angle, 0) is illustrated as:
The conformation in which the atoms are farthest apart normally has the lowest
potential energy and is referred to as the preferred conformation. Molecules are continuously
and rapidly changing from one conformation to another, but they spend most of their time
in the preferredconformation.
1. Complete the diagram in your answer sheet by indicating changes in relative
potential energy which occur during a full 360° rotation of one methyl group of
ethane relative tothe other ethyl group.
