(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediates in the mechanism have to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Reaction: Substances which are mutually involved each other in a chemical process and changed into different substances.
Mechanism of a reaction: The representation of step by step process involved in the chemical process is said to be mechanism of a
Elementary step: The first step in a reaction mechanism is said to be elementary step.
Intermediate: Sometimes, in between the reaction some separable amount and useful amount of substances are formed during the reaction and which are said to be intermediates
(b)
Interpretation:
The rate-determining step has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Reaction: Substances which are mutually involved each other in a chemical process and changed into different substances.

One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the four structures.
