- Write a conformational structure for 1,2,3-trimethylcyclohexane in which all the methyl groups are axial and then show its more stable conformation.arrow_forwardUsing Newman projections draw the most stable and least stable conformers of 3-methylhexane, viewed along the C2-C3 bond.arrow_forwardIf you rotate the hydrogen atoms to a different position in a a model of C2H6 by turning about the central C—C bond, do you get different structural (or constitutional) isomers of C2H5Cl?arrow_forward
- Draw Newman projection formula for the distinct conformation of 1,2-dichoroethane, label them as a, b, c, and d, and predict their relative energies. Additionally, state whether their geometry is staggered or eclipsed.arrow_forwardDraw the structural formula(s) for the constitutional isomer(s) with the molecular formula C7H16 that have an unbranched chain.arrow_forwardRank the conformations of 1,2-dichloroethane in terms of stability. Draw a plot of potential energy versus rotation for the C-C bond in 1,2-dichloroethane. Do your calculations for conformations of 1,2-dichloroethane agree with the plot you predict?arrow_forward
- Citing down the C3-C4 bond, and using the drawings below, complete the Newman projections for all staggered and eclipsed conformations of hexane. Which staggered conformation has the lowest energy? Which eclipsed conformation has the highest energy?arrow_forwardDraw all possible structure(s) and give the IUPAC systematic name(s) of an alkane or cycloalkane with the formula C8H18 that has only primary hydrogen atoms...arrow_forwardDraw Newman projection formula for the distinct conformation of 1,2-dichoroethane, label them as a, b, c, and d, and predict their relative energiesarrow_forward
- For 1,2-dichloroethane: a.Draw Newman projections for all eclipsed conformations formed by rotation from 0° to 360° about the carbon-carbon single bond. b.Which eclipsed conformation(s) has (have) the lowest energy? Which has (have) the highest energy? c.Which, if any, of these eclipsed conformations are related by reflection?arrow_forwardDraw three constitutional isomers having molecular formula C7H14 that contains a five-membered ring and two methyl groups bonded to that ring.arrow_forwardIs the geometry of CH2BrCl, the same as CH3Cl and CH4? Briefly explain the evidence for your answerarrow_forward
