(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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 Introduction

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.
