Chapter 3, Problem 3.47P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Does cyclooctene have two distinct configurations about its C=C bond is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Double bonds in cycloalkenes of seven or fewer carbons are exclusively cis as the trans isomers are too strained at ordinary condition. Cycloalkene ring with more than seven carbons is large enough to have both configurations.

Is there much flexibility in the structure of benzene or can you assign a definite shape to the entire molecule? Compare the shape to that of cyclohexane.
For 1,2-dichloroethane: ( Q.) Which eclipsed conformation(s) has (have) the lowest energy? Which has (have) the highest energy?
Why are these two conformational isomers? I was under the impression that in molecules with only sigma bonds, the bonds can rotate freely, and so the placement of the chlorines wouldn't matter?
