Question

Arrange the following conformational isomers of n-butane in order of their increasing potential energy : (A) II < III < IV < I (B) I < IV < III < II (C) II < IV < III < I (D) I < III < IV < II

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

More stable less potential energy. Stability order: I > III > IV > II So Potential energy: II > IV > III > I

Q. Arrange the following conformational isomers of $n$ -butane in order of their increasing potential energy :

II < III < IV < I

I < IV < III < II

II < IV < III < I

I < III < IV < II

More stable less potential energy.
Stability order : $I > III > I V > II$
So Potential energy : $II > I V > III > I$
