30) The rotation of carbon-carbon single bond (s-bond), due to cylindrical symmetry of s-MOs (molecular
orbitals) long internuclear axis, in alkanes results into different spatial arrangements of atoms in space, that
are interconvertible. These arrangements are called conformations.

However, weak repulsive interaction are present between the adjacent bonds in alkanes so the rotation of C—
C single bond is not completely free and is hindered by a small energy barriers of 1-20 kJ mol-1. The repulsive
interaction between the adjacent bond is due to electron cloud. The two types of conformations are very
common, i.e., staggered and eclipsed.

The conformation in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbon atoms are as far apart as possible
is called the staggered conformation. The conformations in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two
carbon atoms are as closed as possible is called eclipsed conformation. Any intermediate conformation
between the above two is called skew or gauche conformation

i) The electronic distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around the internuclear axis of C-C
bond which permits free rotation around C-C bond. Such spatial arrangements of atoms in which conversion of
one another takes place by rotation around C-C bond is known as
a) rotamers b) conformers c) conformations d) All of these

ii) The possible rotamers of ethane is/are

a) 2 b) 3 c) 4 d) ∞

iii) The different conformations of ethane cannot be separated and isolated because
a) small energy barrier b) large energy barrier

iv) The repulsive interaction between the electron clouds, which affects stability of a conformation is termed
as
a) torsional strain b) dihedral angle
