Sketch an approximate potential energy diagram for rotation about the carbon–carbon bond in 2,2-dimethylpropane similar to that shown in Figures 3.4 and 3.7. Does the form of the potential energy curve of 2,2-dimethylpropane more closely resemble that of ethane or that of butane?
Figure 3.4 Potential energy diagram for rotation about the carbon?carbon bond in ethane. Two of the hydrogens are shown in red and four in green so as to indicate more clearly the bond rotation.
Figure 3.7 Potential energy diagram for rotation around the central carbon?carbon bond in butane.
