hi guys welcome to the wonderful world
0:4
of hydrocarbons chemistry and here we
0:7
are with the main topic of
0:9
conformational isomerism in alkanes well
0:12
in case of conformational isomerism in
0:15
alkanes I guess so you remember we were
0:18
talking about some representative
0:21
formulas isn't it right so let me just
0:24
write down those are representative
0:28
formulas are called as projection
0:30
formulas what are we called as
0:33
projection formulas okay now in this
0:37
case what is this projection formula are
0:39
going to talk about so this particularly
0:43
projection formula just for the time
0:45
being just ignore it okay so this
0:47
particular projection formula actually
0:49
talks about the way I could represent my
0:53
molecule in space or as it was in space
0:57
okay so in that case how is it so easy
1:1
to represent a particular formula as it
1:5
isn't going to be in space okay so in
1:8
that case there are two types of law
1:10
rejection formula which were actually
1:12
sure what was called as Newman's
1:16
projection formula okay what is it
1:20
Newman's projection formula P if I have
1:23
abbreviated it as PM whereas the other
1:26
one was your sawhorse so in this case R
1:31
actually it was talked about as Newman's
1:33
projection formula and sawhorse one
1:35
happy what is this Newman's projection
1:37
formula and sawhorse so basically your
1:42
Newman's projection formula talked about
1:44
a spherical body or another basis circle
1:48
okay which could be shown in this manner
1:54
okay
1:56
well let me tell you very clearly we are
1:58
talking about routine now okay so in
2:1
that case Eden is what c3 - ch3 right so
2:5
ch3 - TV HD means in this case all of my
2:11
lines would end up with the hydrogen
2:14
what is all this let me come to you hold
2:18
on and the other one okay other one was
2:22
known by the name Oh some horse okay so
2:27
his projection formula now what did how
2:30
did it projected the items or the
2:32
location of it in space so it was in the
2:35
following manner
2:36
where in a straight vertical line or a
2:39
slanting vertical line I would say was
2:41
taken up okay and since I am talking
2:43
about ething this is a magnified view
2:46
which we are going to get so I would be
2:48
having my hydrogen atom stationed in
2:52
this way I guess now you can have a
2:56
clearer idea of it isn't it so I'm
2:59
having my two carbons over here okay and
3:2
all of the other being hydrogen so in
3:6
this case if you go to see it's CH
3:8
straight a ch3 okay and what does it
3:11
show is that these two hydrogen atoms
3:15
which are facing vertically upwards are
3:17
going to be in the same plane maybe in
3:20
the plane of the board okay whereas
3:23
these hydrogen atoms are in one plane
3:26
again but outside the plane of the board
3:29
on the other side on your side I would
3:31
say fine so let me depict it as like
3:34
this fine whereas whereas these two
3:41
hydrogen atoms are on my side Redmon's
3:44
outside the plane of the board again so
3:48
in this case it was quite simple a
3:49
vertical line and these three lines
3:51
would represent the positioning of the
3:53
atoms very well now why well you well
3:56
because that time we did not have an
3:58
idea as to this could be done in a
3:59
better way this was the ultimatum okay
4:2
so in that case if at all I wanted to
4:5
talk about a particular position of
4:7
being stable or unstable okay or maybe
4:11
minimum stability I will represent it in
4:14
in this way like the way I have done it
4:16
over here so as you can see these two of
4:18
them are facing vertically upwards okay
4:21
and in this case we got to visualize the
4:25
electron cloud okay so imagine carbon
4:30
with an atomic number six electronic
4:33
configuration one is 2 2 s 2 and 2 P 2
4:35
okay so even after excitation and the
4:39
hybridization thing which all goes on I
4:41
should be having sp3 hybridised more of
4:45
carbon right so if it is an sp3
4:49
hybridized more that would be
4:51
overlapping with the S orbitals of
4:53
hydrogen so in that case it definitely
4:56
calls out for an electron cloud right
5:0
now supposedly if I am imagining this
5:3
particular part of it as the electron
5:6
cloud of this bonding as a resultant of
5:8
this bonding whereas this particular
5:10
electron cloud as a resultant of this
5:13
bonding all of them are in the same
5:16
direction okay none of them is shadowing
5:18
each other or anything has happening so
5:21
in this case as I can see even if they
5:23
move slightly apart okay maybe if like
5:27
I'm having this hydrogen away and this
5:29
hydrogen over here if at all this is
5:31
moving a little bit over here and this
5:33
is moving over there
5:34
still they Lakefront cloud is there
5:35
right now if the electron cloud is there
5:39
obviously both of them are negatively
5:41
charged if both of them are negatively
5:44
charged and they are approaching so
5:46
nearby what do you think what happen
5:48
clash obviously a repulsion okay so this
5:53
is a magnified name which I have given
5:55
you wearing a longer vertical line has
5:57
been drawn out but then an actual it is
6:0
very nearby isn't it we know that well
6:3
so now in this case when repulsion comes
6:5
in obviously it would question the
6:8
stability of the molecule and so if it
6:11
is questioning the stability of the
6:13
molecule that itself means that this
6:16
would be a stable state or a state which
6:19
would be very much what I could say
6:23
wanted by this particular molecule break
6:27
the wings it would get into some other
6:28
kind of a rotation or otherwise I would
6:31
say and other kind of rearrangement
6:34
what would that be that would be
6:37
something where in the plains would be
6:41
different so that the electron clouds
6:44
don't come near and neither do they
6:46
repel so in that case what would happen
6:49
is this now just look at this one guys
6:55
what does it indicate it's very simple
6:58
it indicates that this hydrogen cloud
7:1
and this hydrogen cloud is oppositely
7:4
placed and so are these two hydrogen
7:7
atoms so this is providing me a minimum
7:11
repulsion if it is providing me and
7:14
minimum retention that means a maximum
7:16
stability is going in right okay so this
7:21
was the way it could be predicted that
7:23
yes these molecules can exhibit such
7:26
kind of locations and space and hence
7:32
they were given at all what was the term
7:35
this one was kinda staggered whereas the
7:38
other one was called as eclipsed what
7:41
was it let me write down this one was
7:43
called as staggered conformation whereas
7:46
the other one was called as eclipsed
7:50
okay fine so conformation as I had
7:54
explained you even last time it's simply
7:56
the rotation about this single single
7:59
carbon bond ok a single carbon-carbon
8:1
bond I would say so they are also called
8:3
as root ammos okay
8:5
whereas what is Newman talking about so
8:8
new man is the same thing man okay
8:10
it's only the depiction which is going
8:12
to deform so in this case I have a
8:14
carbon located over here okay
8:16
same as behind the circle also okay and
8:19
in this case I'm having the electron
8:22
clouds located opposite to each other so
8:24
this was giving us a better idea as to
8:26
what is located in opposite to which
8:28
atom animal so due to which we could
8:31
visualize we could visualize as to which
8:34
of them could be more stable which of
8:36
them is least people so this was an
8:39
example of again what is it
8:41
staggered why because both of them are
8:44
opposite
8:46
what were we Eclipse then the Eclipse
8:49
one would be something like this wherein
8:51
I would be having the positioning quite
8:54
nearby to say like over here okay over
8:59
here and over here right
9:3
what was this this was an eclipsed
9:6
conformation okay and then Newman I
9:10
could represent one more confirmation
9:12
which was a resultant of the
9:14
intermediate of staggered and eclipsed
9:16
so it was something like this so I was
9:19
having this H okay whereas my skew one
9:26
okay
9:32
see something like this okay
9:36
so this was called as cue or also called
9:39
as gosh so if you don't I want to talk
9:44
about the order of stability then
9:46
stagger would be the best stable one
9:49
followed by gosh followed by eclipsed
9:52
the least stable okay fine
9:55
now what is the difference and how do
9:58
you put it numerically so plot was drawn
10:1
out in which potential energy was given
10:4
on the Y and my angle of rotation on the
10:6
x axis so angle of rotation means at
10:9
what angle is the carbon-carbon single
10:10
bond going to rotate so in this case I
10:14
had 0 60 120 180 so in case of Ethan it
10:18
was seen then the conformers say like
10:21
eclipse and star staggered majorly whoa
10:24
having an angle of rotation of 60 60
10:27
degrees each in which I could see that
10:30
at one point I was getting a staggered
10:32
at the other point I was giving at
10:34
eclipsed okay this one was standard of
10:37
course right the lower ones and the
10:40
higher one was eclipsed in fact in this
10:43
case if we could even see that at what
10:48
point or at which confirmation is the
10:51
molecule more stable so on this plot
10:54
itself if you go to see here is my 0 so
10:57
below zero is my staggered so that means
11:0
it is more stable
11:1
right because lesser energy whereas my
11:4
eclipses composing of a higher energy
11:7
cotan so obviously it is going to be
11:9
less stable right and if you don't I
11:12
mean if you go to see the numerical
11:14
value of the energy differences between
11:16
both of them it's twelve point five five
11:18
kilo joules per moon and that comes from
11:21
where that comes from the energy
11:24
differences of these two conformers so
11:28
in that case if I put it up numerically
11:30
for this sawhorse or rather ways for the
11:32
stagger and the eclipsed one in case of
11:35
April Eclipse the inter nuclear distance
11:37
between these two non bonded hydrogen's
11:39
is around 229 Pico meters
11:43
whereas in case of staggered it's 310
11:48
picometers so now you can imagine the
11:51
distance right and the repulsion is
11:53
occurring fine so I guess I have given
11:57
you a perfect idea as to what is a
11:58
conformer and how does it look like and
12:0
how it can be blotted right so now we
12:3
can move towards the next session to
12:5
learn something more about alkenes isn't
12:7
it right so see you in the next session
12:9
till then thank you very much
