Answer:

The most stable conformer would be the anti-conformer when the substituent methyl groups are farthest away from each other.

Explanation:

Isomers are chemical compounds with the same molecular formula but with different molecular structures.

Conformers are a special type of isomers that produce different structures when the substituents of a Carbon-Carbon single bond (C-C) are rotated.

In 2,3 dimethyl butane, the substituent methyl groups are located around the second and third Carbon to Carbon single bond.

To achieve a stable configuration, the methyl group substituents need to be as far apart as possible (that is, in an anti-position) to minimise repulsion.

The closer the methyl groups are to each other, the more they repel each other and the more unstable the conformer becomes.

mars1129 [50]
An earthquake happens when tectonic plates move against each other. A oceanic and a continental tectonic plates might move against each other. When that happens water is pushed upwards and it creates ripples that then move towards land. It's like throwing a rock in water but a lot bigger. I can't post external links on Brainly but you can find more information about tsunami's on Google

How do I calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction at 25 °C ?
ladessa [460]
MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g) 

Using the standard enthalpies of formation given in the source below: 

(−601.24 kJ) + (2 x −92.30 kJ) − (−641.8 kJ) − (−285.8 kJ) = +141.76 kJ 
So: 

MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g), ΔH = +141.76 kJ

Why does sodium give up an electron?
lidiya [134]
Sodium (Na) has only one electron in its outer electron shell, as shown in Figure 1. Once again, gaining one electron is more energy efficient than losing seven. As a result, it appears to obtain an electron, resulting in an ion with 17 protons, 17 neutrons, and 18 electrons, and a net negative charge (–1).
