Assignment:
Strain or Steric energy
(a) Choose an alkene having cis and trans isomers and draw one of these (give name of alkene also). Determine the strain energy. Draw the isomeric compound. Comment of the results. This should include appropriate views.
(b) Draw an alkane in the “zig-zag” stick conformation. Draw the same molecule in a less stable conformation. Comment on the results. This should include appropriate views.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
