1
Structural formulae
________ are useful for demonstrating atom connection in a molecule.
New cards
2
Collisions
________ and thermal movements cause the strained and relaxed structures to interconvert.
New cards
3
normal temperature
At ________, ethane molecules collide with enough energy to pass the energy barrier between extreme conformations, and rotation about the carbon- carbon single bond from one conformation to another happens quickly.
New cards
4
carbon carbon
There are an unlimited number of ethane conformations that differ only in the degree of rotation about the ________ single bond.
New cards
5
bicycloalkane
A(n) ________ has the generic formula CnH2n22.
New cards
6
physical entities
Chemicals, like every macroscopic object, are ________ with optimum structures.
New cards
7
Cyclopropane
________ and its derivatives undergo various ring- opening processes not found in bigger cycloalkanes due to their severe intramolecular strain.
New cards
8
Rotation
________ is not totally free since there is a minor energy barrier between conformations.
New cards
9
bent branch
A(n) ________ has more energy than an undisturbed branch, and that energy is released as it relaxes between wind gusts.
New cards
10
term Strain
The ________ is a fundamental term in organic chemistry, and is a measure of the energy stored in a chemical as a result of structural deformation.
