Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The more stable of the two species A and B is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A chair flip converts one cyclohexane chair conformer to the other. This also changes the orientations of the hydrogen atoms. The ones that were in axial positions initially move to equatorial positions and vice versa. In cyclohexane, these are indistinguishable. However, if one or more of these hydrogens is/are substituted by other atoms, the two can be distinguished. The stability of the conformer depends on orientation of the substituents. This is particularly true of bulky substituents. Large substituents are more stable in equatorial position. In axial position, steric interaction with the hydrogen atoms (or other groups) on the 3rd carbon reduce the stability of the conformer with bulky substituent in an axial position.

- Solve correctly please, with some explanation also. Draw the product(s) for the following radical reaction where one bond breaks and another bond is formed. The curved arrows indicate the movement of an unpaired electron.arrow_forwardAlthough the hypothetical molecule shown here has alternating single and double bonds, those double bonds are not considered to be conjugated. Why not?arrow_forwardWhich if the following species is/ are susceptible to nucleophilic and electrophilic attack?arrow_forward
- please show which type of arrows are used. since there is a double bond arrow or single bond arrow. you can see it in the picture.arrow_forwardUse curved arrow notation to show how the rst resonance structure can be converted to the second.arrow_forward!
