Most stable least stable
Bonds with more ‘s’ character are more stable (lower energy
orbital).
sp2-sp3 bonds have more ‘s’ character than sp3-sp3 bonds
The more substituted (with carbon) the alkene is the more stable.

carbon-carbon single bond where the atoms
on one carbon are as far apart as possible
from the atoms on the adjacent carbon.

• Eclipsed conformation: a conformation of a
carbon-carbon single bond where the atoms
on one carbon are as close as possible to the
atoms on the adjacent carbon.

• There are two other staggered conformations possible
for butane where there is a dihedral angle of 60°
between the methyl groups.
• These are called gauche conformations.
• butane gauche conformation → nonbonded interaction
strain is approx. 0.8 kcal/mol.
50
There are two different eclipsed
conformations for butane
51
Forces involved in conformational preferences
• Weak attraction/repulsion that exists between nonpolar molecules
are known as van der Waals interactions.
• These forces are the result of the motion of electrons within bonds
and molecules.
• When molecules (or parts of the same molecule) are not too close,
attractive van der Waals interactions can occur.
• However, if the distance is too short (less than the van der Waals
radii of the interacting atoms, repulsive (unfavourable) van der
Waals interactions occur.

Compounds that differ from each other in their molecular formulas
by the unit -CH2- are members of a homologous series. 62
All alkanes have similar chemical properties, but their
physical properties vary with molecular weight and and the
shape of the molecule
The boiling points of linear alkanes increase steadily with
molecular weight.

IUPAC SYSTEM OF NAMING COMPOUNDS
1. Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms for
the basic name.
2. Number the carbons in the chain from the end nearest the
first branch.
3. Identify substituents (e.g. methyl, ethyl, bromo, chloro). If
more than one substituent of the same kind is present, use
the prefixes “di,” “tri” or “tetra.”
4. Locate the substituents by the number of the carbon to
which they are attached.
5. Put substituents in alphabetical order (prefixes (di, tri,
tetra, n-, sec-, tert-, do not count).
6. Use commas to separate numbers and separate numbers
from letters by a dash and write the whole name as one word
79
with the basic name at the end.
