Chair and Boat Conformers of Cyclohexane (C6H12). Note it is impossible to place all the carbons in the same plane without strai

ning the bonds. Take two opposite carbons and pull both of them up to make one conformation and then pull one of them down to make the other conformation.
a. Can you interconvert one conformer into the other without breaking any bonds?
b. Explain why these represent conformers and not isomers.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Conformation refers to the various spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule that result from free rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond.

There are two possible conformations of cyclohexane. They are; the chair and boat conformations.

We can convert the molecule from one conformation to another by rotation of single bonds.

These conformations are not isomers. Isomers are different molecules while conformers are different spatial arrangements of the same molecule obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds. Isomers are not obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds.

Hence, the chair and boat conformers of cyclohexane are obtained by rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond hence they are conformers and not isomers.

What are valence electrons ?
Arada [10]

Answer:In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

How is hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen affected by the presence or absence of oxygen? rank hemoglobin molecules with the descri
allsm [11]

In order from the most likely to bind an oxygen to least likely;
3 bound o2, po2=100mmhg1 bound o2, po2=100mmhg3 bound o2, po2=40mmhg<span>1 bound o2, po2=40mmhg
</span>

Haemoglobin is more likely to bind oxygen if its other oxygen binding sites have already bound to an oxygen molecule. The higher the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood also makes it more likely that the hemoglobin will bind oxygen.
