Explanation of Solution
The quantum mechanics method is based on the solution of the Schrodinger wave equation which is represented as follows:
Here,
- The nucleus is assumed to be stationary with respect to the electron.
- The movement of electrons is independent of each other. The single electron can affect the average electric field due to its motion.
- The molecular orbital is made by a linear combination of the atomic orbitals.
The molecular mechanics method is used to compare the energies of conformers but not for the isomeric compounds which are not conformers. The method is not reliable for comparison of the energies of isomers but this can be well explained by the quantum mechanical methods.
Thus, QM or quantum mechanics method is used to compare the heat of formation of isomeric structures.

Answer to Problem 1Q
MM or molecular mechanics.
Explanation of Solution
The best computational method can be determined by analyzing the question. If the optimum or lowest energy structure of organic molecules needs to be determined, it can be best determined by using molecular mechanics. The exact value of bond angles, bond lengths and interatomic distances can be determined using this method. A molecular mechanics method can be used to calculate the values more efficiently.
Thus, the difference in energy between the diaxial and diequitorial cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane is determine by MM or molecular mechanics method.

Answer to Problem 1Q
MM or molecular mechanics method.
Explanation of Solution
In the molecular mechanics method, the molecule is treated as made up of balls (atoms) and springs (bonds). Here, springs connects the balls. The total energy of molecule is known as strain energy and it is sum of the energy contributed due to stetching, strain in anghle and electronic charge interactions.
Molecular mechanics method can be used in the study of large systems like trans membtrane proteins. It cannot be used to simulate the
