Question

Q.explain the following with a example
Q.What are conformers?What is the cause of their formation?
Q.What is meant by ozonalysis?

Answer 1

Q.2 A conformer is a conformation of a molecule that lies at an energy minimum in a potential energy diagram. eg: Shown below is the potential energy diagram of conformations of ethane.

Q.3 Ozonolysis, a reaction used in organic chemistry to determine the position of a carbon-carbon double bond in unsaturated compounds. ... From the determination of the structure of the aldehydes and ketones so produced, it is possible to determine the position of the double bond in the original unsaturated compound.
