After many videos, you were the only one able to clear up the confusion of it being wedged for up and dashed for down and that Equatorial and axial depend on where the Carbons are on the chair conformation. I can't thank you enough!!!!!!

Hey! Generally, your reasoning is correct. However, problem 1 is a tough one in that the conformation with the two groups on the equatorial position is the more stable one, even though the largest group (tertbutyl) is the axial group. To see why, try drawing the Newman projection. In the Newman projection, you will see that when the tert-butyl is on the equatorial position, it "bumps" with the other two groups as well as the ring structure. However, when tert-butyl is on the axial position, it

AK LECTURES Do you have a video where you explain how to identify the location of lone pairs? For example in which orbital would a lone pair reside...depending on the type of atoms and bonds involved.
@AKLECTURES10 жыл бұрын
That sounds like the electron configuration of the atom?
@zakmatew10 жыл бұрын
AK LECTURES It is part of it. I was using a method to determine in which orbital is, say the lone pair of a =N- atom, which turned out to yield wrong results. I was wondering if there is an efficient way to identify the orbital in which the lone pair reside.
@AKLECTURES10 жыл бұрын
Oh I see what you're saying. No there isn't any quick way, but the electron configuration is part of it. First you determine what the electron configuration of the nitrogen atom is all by itself (1s2 2s2 2p3). Then you determine how many hybridized bonds it needs to form with other molecules. It needs to form three bonds to fulfill the octet rule, so three valence electrons are used to create three hybridized orbitals. That uses up 3 out of 5 valence electrons. The other two are the lone pair electrons in the 2p orbital.

only bumps with the methyl and ring structure. The chlorine group is further way. Because we have less steric hinderance, our chair conformation is more stable.

quite a late reply but im sorry, I got a exam on Tuesday so this might be good practice to explain. his drawing was showing equatorial rather than axial because the "mountain peak" was going up, so it was axial the straight line would point up, his is equatorial down but he just drew it in a way that looks more axial than equatorial. which a professor might mark u down for of consider incorrect because it looks axial than eq.
