Correct answer: 60
-
Understand the molecule
-Trichloroethane has the structure:
We consider the Newman projection along the bond.
-
Meaning of dihedral angle
The dihedral angle is the angle between a bond on the front carbon and the nearest bond on the back carbon in the Newman projection.
-
Staggered conformation
In any staggered Newman projection of an ethane-type molecule, the bonds on the back carbon are offset by: from the bonds on the front carbon.
This is true for as well. The substituents are different, but the definition of the staggered arrangement remains the same.
-
Therefore
The dihedral angle in the staggered form is:
-
Rounded to nearest integer
