Influence of Hyperconjugation on the Stability and Stable Conformation of Ethane,Hydrazine,and Hydrogen Peroxide
Ethane,hydrazine,and hydrogen peroxide are three structurally similar substances composed of the elements from the same period with hydrogen,respectively.However,their stability significantly decreases in a sequential manner,and their stable conformations are also dissimilar.These differences have not been explained adequately in the current textbooks.This article provides a possible explanation for the variation in stability among these substances by analyzing their n-σ* hyperconjugation.Additionally,it elucidates the absence of anti-conformation in hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide.The hyperconjugation theory is extended to illustrate and to discuss stability and stable conformation of inorganic compounds.
