SAQ Exemplar #04 Hydrocarbon

Assessment Objective: You will be assessed on the understanding of conformations of alkanes

.Read the following text and answer the following equation

In staggered conformation since the electron clouds of carbon-hydrogen bonds are as far apart as possible, so it
has minimum repulsive forces, minimum energy and maximum stability.On the other hand, eclipsed
conformation has maximum repulsive forces, maximum energy and minimum stability because in it, the electron
clouds of carbon hydrogen bonds are too close to each other.The angle of rotation about C-C bond is called the
dihedral angle or torsional angle and is maximum, i.e. 180o in staggered conformation and minimum (0o) in
eclipsed conformation. Thus, torsional strain is minimum in staggered conformation and maximum in eclipsed
form. The two forms differ in energy by 12.5kJ mol-1. This energy barrier is so small that small thermal or
kinetic energy is sufficient to overcome it by intermolecular collisions.
