Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The conformation of ethane which is downhill in terms of potential energy from the eclipsed confirmation should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A diagram which is used to denote the specific conformation of a molecule is known as Newman projection. It is classified as: Staggered conformation and Eclipsed conformation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The repulsive forces which will cause ethane in the eclipsed conformation to quickly adopt the staggered conformation should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A diagram which is used to denote the specific conformation of a molecule is known as Newman projection. It is classified as: Staggered conformation and Eclipsed conformation.
The forces which hold the two molecules with together are known as intermolecular forces.

However ketone (A) has a fragment peak at m/2 = 99 and 72 while ketone (B) snowed a fragment peak at m/2 = 113 and 58. 9) Propose the most plausible structures for both ketones b) Explain how you arrived at your conclusion by drawing the Structures of the distinguishing fragments for each ketone, including their fragmentation mechanisms.arrow_forward
