Chapter 2, Problem 2.37AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The potential energy versus dihedral angle for 1, 2-dichloroethane showing maximum and minimum energy with appropriate conformer is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Newman projection is a way of representing the groups attached to carbon atoms in the C-C bonds. This is used to determine the interaction between the groups attached to carbon atoms and the dihedral angle. The front carbon atom in the Newman projection is represented by dot and the end on carbon atom is represented by circle. The groups attached to the carbon atoms are then drawn by the line.

The energy of the conformers varies with change in their dihedral angle. The plot of this variation is known as potential energy curve.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The conformer present in highest amount in a sample of 1, 2-dichloroethane is to be stated.
