It has been argued that the energy difference between cisand trans-1,3-di-tert-butylcyclohexane is a good approximation for the energy difference between the chair and twist-boat forms of cyclohexane. Using models to assist you, explain why this view is reasonable.
Chapter 5 Textbook Notes 5.1 Hydrogen, oxygen, and water When two or more elements combine to form a compound, an entirely new substance results 5.2 Types of chemical bonds A chemical bond is the force that holds atoms together in a compound Chemical bonds form because they lower the potential energy of the charged particles that compose atoms Ionic bond – the bond that forms between a metal and a nonmetal; electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal o The metal atom becomes a cation and the nonmetal becomes an anion o An ionic compound is formed with a lattice structure of alternating cations and anions Covalent bond – the bond that forms between two or more nonmetals o
