1Also called eclipsing strain, due to eclipsing interactions.
Torsional strain
2Equatorial is slanted or straight?
Slanted
32 groups bump into each other
Steric strain/Transannualar strain
4Due to bent bonds causing poor overlap of orbitals
Angle strain
5what is a wedge structure?
A structure that is going towards you
6If all structures cannot be equatorial then what must one do for the most stable conformer structure?
Make the largest structure equatorial which is determined by branching
7Define Eclipsed
When bonds are aligned 0, 120, 240, 360 degrees
8Axial is slanted or straight?
Straight
9What is more stable Equatorial or Axial?
Equatorial
10Define Staggered
When bonds are as far apart as possible: 60, 180, 300 degrees
11What are dashed structures?
a bond that is going away from you
12Define Anti
When 2 groups are staggered at 180 degrees
13Define Gauche
When 2 groups are staggered at 60 degrees
14Define Syn
When 2 groups are eclipsed at 0 degrees
