What is the difference between a state and a microstate of a system? check all that apply. check all that apply. a thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature, volume, and number of moles, that defines the properties of a bulk material. a microstate is a single possibility for all the positions and kinetic energies of all the molecules in a sample. a thermodynamic state is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the molecules. a thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature and pressure, that defines the properties of a bulk material. a microstate is a snapshot of positions and speeds at a particular instant.

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
