Question
Chapter 18, Problem 64AE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Half-life of plutonium-
Concept introduction: The process in which a given nucleus undergoes decomposition leading to the formation of another nucleus is known as radioactive decay. The cause of instability of a nuclide is its inefficiency in holding the nucleus together. Half-life of plutonium is very long.
To determine: Time required for it to decrease its activity to

Please consider the two all 'cis' isomers of trimethylcyclohexane drawn below. Draw the
two chair conformers of each stereoisomer below (1 and 2) and calculate their torsional interaction
energies in order to identify the lower energy conformer for each stereoisomer. Based on your
calculations, state which of the two stereoisomers 1 and 2 is less stable and which is more stable.
[1,3-diaxial CH3 CH3 = 3.7kcal/mol; 1,3-diaxial CH3 H = 0.88kcal/mol; cis-1,2 (axial:equatorial) CH3
