Chair Flipping

Hi! Can anyone explain how to carry out chair flipping? Like how do you re-number it and know where to put the functional groups on the newly flipped structure?

I think we are expected to know all four: anti, gauche, slightly eclipsed, and fully eclipsed.

Professor Lavelle has announced that there will be no derivations on the final.

Re: Final Exam Details and Review Sessions Winter 2017

Will the final emphasize more on current topics? Or will the questions be evenly distributed across all topics?

Re: Quiz 3 Winter 2017

For the quiz, are we expected to express the compounds through the skeletal/line-angle formula or through lewis dot structure?

Re: Quiz 3 Winter 2017

Hi! Why is the answer for number 4, 4-butyl-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane and not 1,2-dimethyl,4-butylcyclohexane?

When naming a compound, do the lower numbers do first?

Re: Reversible vs. Irreversible [ENDORSED]

Okay thanks! That helps clarify things, but I was also wondering how each condition affects one's calculations for a certain reaction? And how it affects the temperature, pressure, etc

Understanding Enthalpy as State Function

Hi! We went over enthalpy in lecture today and Professor Lavelle drew out a diagram as an example, but I am still confused on why enthalpy is a state function. Any help is appreciated!
