Using the newman projection of n-butane. construct an energy diagram to show the varation in free energy of n-butane as the dihedral angle made by C1-C2-C3-C4 is changed from 0 degrees to 360 degrees in 60 degree increment.begin with a staggered conformation and to acquire the eclipse . Rotating in 60 degree increment draw the energy change. draw the newman projection for each conformation. what is the energy difference between the two most stable conformations.
