Interpretation:
The reason for why there is a high barrier to rotation arround a carbon–carbon double bond than carbon–carbon single bond has to be explained
Concept introduction:
In Orbital overlap model of bonding , two nuclei’s of two atoms are approach each other and overlap their atomic orbitals. As the overlapping the energy increases, the interaction decreases.
After some distance the minimum energy is reached and it corresponds to the bonding distance. The two atoms of nuclei begin to repel and energy increases.
There is a high barrier to rotation arround a carbon –carbon double bond than carbon-carbon single bond because higher energy require to break the pi-bond than the sigma bond.

- Stereoisomers There is another kind of isomeric relationship possible for organic structures. This is stereoisomerism. Stereoisomers are structures that have the same bonding connections between atoms, but have a different three- dimensional shape. Models of stereoisomers cannot be completely superimposed on each other. Stereoisomerism is also possible for any structure having a carbon with tetrahedral geometry that has four different atoms or groups of atoms bonded to it. A common way to represent the arrangement of groups bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom is the dash and wedge type of figure shown to the right. The group bonded to the dashed line is behind the plane of the page and the group bonded to the wedge is in front of the plane of the page. The other two bonds are in the plane of the page. posses 8) Put four longer wooden sticks into a black ball and place red, yellow, green, and purple balls on the four sticks.

Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidizedto a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forwardA. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H14. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
