Chapter 11, Problem 11.123QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given molecules which one has more a Value has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

• The value of a indicates how strongly molecules of a given type of gas attract one another
• a-values gives the energetically difference of a monosubstituted cyclohexane between the conformation in which the substituent is placed axial versus equatorial.
• a value is based on the molecule attraction.
• Small size molecule is less molecular attraction so the a value is lesser than compared to the bigger molecules
