Question: For the linear alkanes from methane to dodecane, make a table of the number of nuclei, the number of independent stretching motions between bonded nuclei

For the linear alkanes from methane to dodecane, make a table of the number of nuclei, the number of independent stretching motions between bonded nuclei (i.e. the number of unique pairs of bonded nuclei) and the number of through-space van der Waals interactions. Use the criterion of three or more nuclei bonded between the nuclei undergoing vdW interactions (total of five nuclei, including the interacting nuclei).
