Interpretation:
The relative energy levels of the three staggered conformations of 2,3-dimethylbutane are needed to be find out.
Concept introduction:
Conformers arise due to the free rotation of
The least energy occupied conformer is called staggered conformer, which are having a dihedral angle of ‘60’ degree.
