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).
