Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The activation energy for the rotation about the
Concept introduction:
In case of butane, the anti conformation has the least energy while the eclipsed conformation has the highest energy.
The rotation of the bond due to which different conformations arise requires gain of energy.
The gauche and anti conformers have only a slight difference in energy, but their interconversion occurs through an intermediate eclipsed conformation.
This requires energy equal to the activation energy.
