**Question:** When looking down the C2–C3 bond of 2,3-dimethylbutane, what is the most stable conformer (A, B, C, or D)?**Diagrams Explanation:**The image shows four Newman projections labeled A, B, C, and D, depicting possible conformers of 2,3-dimethylbutane:- **A:** The front carbon has one CH₃ group at the top and two H atoms at the sides. The back carbon has two CH₃ groups at the left and right, and one H atom at the bottom.- **B:** The front carbon has two H atoms and one CH₃ group. The back carbon has one CH₃ group at the bottom and one at the right, with one H atom at the top.- **C:** The front carbon is shown with CH₃ at the top and H at the bottom-left and right. The back carbon has CH₃ at the bottom-right and H at the left.- **D:** The front carbon has one CH₃ group and two H atoms. The back carbon similarly has one CH₃ at the right and one at the bottom, with one H atom at the left.**Key Points for Consideration:**The most stable conformer usually minimizes steric hindrance, so the arrangement where larger groups (CH₃) are staggered and the distance between them is maximized will be preferred for stability reasons.
