QUESTION:

How many different staggered conformations are there for 2-methylpropane? How manydifferent eclipsed conformations are there?

ANSWER:

Key concepts

Newman projection

A way to view a molecule by looking along a carbon-carbon single bond to help evaluate the relative orientations of attached groups.

In Newman projection the circle represents the back carbon and the front carbon is represented by three lines meeting the center of the circle.

Conformation

Any three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule that results from rotation about a single bond.

Staggered conformation

A conformation about a carbon-carbon single bond in which the atoms or groups on one carbon are as far apart as possible from atoms or groups on an adjacent carbon.

Eclipsed conformation

A conformation about a carbon-carbon single bond in which the atoms or groups on one carbon are as close as possible to the atoms or groups on an adjacent carbon.

Step 1 of 3

We need to find how many different staggered conformations and eclipsed conformations are there for 2-methylpropane.
