Answer:
Axial
Explanation:
In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.
If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.
The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
Answer:
The element with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ will most likely not........
Explanation:
The 4th energy level (row), 's' orbital block, 2nd group (column). The valence electrons are found in the highest energy level of the electron configuration in the 's' and 'p' orbitals. In the case of calcium this is 4s2 . This gives calcium an 's' orbital with a pair of electrons in its valence shell
