Now rotate around both C-C bonds to obtain a fully eclipsed model, which should resemble this formula: علاقة H H н H H od 11 16. Draw a Newman projection formula for this conformation, looking down either C-C bond. pred ( 17. Describe any planes or axes of symmetry that are present in this conformation. 18. Draw a dashed wedge-solid wedge formula for propane in which one C-C bond is staggered and the other C-C bond is eclipsed. 19. Describe any planes or axes of symmetry that are present in this half-staggered and half- eclipsed conformation of propane. 20. Just as you did for ethane (Question 12), plot the energy of a propane molecule (on the vertical axis) against the dihedral angle (on the horizontal axis) as you rotate the model about one of the two C-C bonds, starting at 0° for the eclipsed conformation and going through 360°. 21. Do you expect the energy difference between staggered and eclipsed conformations in propane to be larger than, equal to, or smaller than the energy difference in ethane? Explain.
